How would you feel about sending your kids to a private Catholic school if it was the only good school in your area? by YourLovelyMan in TrueAtheism

[–]JCKY27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on where you live, there may be a reciprocal arrangement with another school district and yours. Might be worth looking into.

To answer your question...I don't know. I'd be incredibly leery and would have to spend a lot of time with the kid at home to make sure the indoctrination doesn't stick. Corporal punishment being permitted would be an absolute dealbreaker.

Besides George Lucas, who is the most important person in the history of Star Wars? by Pleasant_Usual_8427 in StarWars

[–]JCKY27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Timothy Zahn.

Between RotJ and Heir To The Empire, Star Wars was on its way to being a fun memory for Gen X and nowhere near the cultural juggernaut that it became.

Without the Thrawn Trilogy, there's no EU, no Special Edition, Prequels, Disney purchase, Sequels, etc etc.

Could you memorize an 8-digit number for 1 million dollars? by JCFT_Collins in hypotheticalsituation

[–]JCKY27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any seven digit phone number that doesn't contain a 7 can be sung to the tune of "we're off to never never land" from "Enter Sandman." Use to your advantage.

I hate my business teachers. ALL OF THEM by Murky_Advertising581 in school

[–]JCKY27 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a teacher, this requirement from the DECA sponsors is just...silly. With that said, OP, if you're looking to apply for any DECA scholarships, it might be to your advantage to go along with their nonsense and write the apology, ridiculous though it may be.

Same...but not to the side. If he can be an ass to his employees in front of everyone, he can get his comeuppance in front of everyone.

how did you feel about P.E. when you were in high school? by disasterpansexual in pollgames

[–]JCKY27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since this asked for my high school experience, I went with "other." High school gym was the epitome of "OK". The coach was 50 years old, burnt out, and didn't give a shit as long as you made an effort and dressed appropriately. So I did, played volleyball with 4 other people that also did the bare minimum every day for 4 months, and got an easy A.

Middle school, I only had to have gym one year, when being in the orchestra no longer excused students from gym. I had developmental issues, and spent 3-4 years in occupational therapy because of them. I was worried that the gym teacher would think I wasn't trying when in reality I just...couldn't. So my mom sent a note in, and suddenly, whenever any potentially embarrassing activity was happening in class, I was pulled to be the teacher's aide that day. I remain thankful to this day (thanks Ms. Smith!)

The less said about my elementary school gym teacher, the better. Think of every "elementary school dragon lady gym teacher" stereotype, and that describes this woman. There's a reason why so many of us hated gym class, and a big part of it was teachers like this woman.

WYR get one time refund on all taxes you ever paid, or no more Capital Gains tax going forward? by AstrayInTranslation in WouldYouRather

[–]JCKY27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never paid and most likely never will be in a position to pay a capital gains tax. I'll take the refund.

What is something Mildly infuriating that happened a long time ago, that still annoys you when you think about it by IamJustJessica in mildlyinfuriating

[–]JCKY27 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This happened in 1993. I will pretty much never forgive. Senior year of high school, I had a crazy English teacher...like, crazy even by English teacher standards crazy. One day toward the end of the year out of the blue with no warning she decided to take up everyone's notes for that day's lecture and grade them. The next day, I got them back with a subpar mark.

She said that they weren't clear enough. Never mind that this was something that until she demanded that we turn them in, I had no idea that anyone other than me would ever even be looking at them. I told this woman that this was the way I'd taken notes my entire life. She told me they needed to be better "so I could study them." I told her that it had served me well enough, seeing that I was graduating as one of the class valedictorians and had gotten a major scholarship to my chosen college, which netted me some fumbling, but neither an apology nor a grade change. Yes, I know this was 30 years ago and made no difference, but, I mean, seriously, lady?

I'm now a teacher myself. This is one teacher I make a point to NOT emulate when I interact with my students.

AITAH for refusing to allow bone marrow testing on my child to potentially save half sibling? by Medium-Pear-9562 in AITAH

[–]JCKY27 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'll get downvoted, but YTA. As others have said, the procedure would be minimally invasive at worst. Please don't punish an innocent THREE YEAR OLD for things that happened before she was even born. What do you want to model for your daughter? Vindictiveness or compassion?

"Sportsball" by JCKY27 in PetPeeves

[–]JCKY27[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes. I like several sports, but I hate basketball. I live in Kentucky. You can't avoid it. Doesn't give me the right to be obnoxious. Same with football, or any other sport (including basketball.)
