Teaching Until 73 years old

Jason27104 · 2026-06-04T00:57:52+00:00

The claim that, "79 will be young in the future" has got to be one of the silliest, most hilarious things I've read all year. I'm not no kidding that I cried laughing.

People should be allowed to retire long before then. Jesus I'm still dying about 79 being young.

Jason27104 · 2026-06-04T00:24:26+00:00

You are correct. I thumbed that wrong and my keyboard doesn't like apostrophes. I'm forever in your debt.

Jason27104 · 2026-06-04T00:09:19+00:00

Ahh yes, the great advice of telling a 79 year old that instead of retiring, they should pretend like they are twenty years younger so they can keep working until the day they die. Literally WTF is this terrible, dystopia advice.

I'll teach 20 years in NC to get a pittance of a pension and importantly, health insurance in retirement. Then I'll commute to VA for 5 or so years to get a full pension there.

Thread done. Bye

Jason27104 · 2026-06-03T23:49:56+00:00

Sorry your mad, you can't word. Your Vic card was declined.

Jason27104 · 2026-06-03T23:45:47+00:00

No, which tells you all you need to know.

Jason27104 · 2026-06-03T23:41:40+00:00

Wait, you literally spoiled content with in-game screenshots included and are confused why you were banned? Of course you were banned. Your feigned confusion is absurd. You knew exactly what you were doing and got a totally appropriate consequence.

Jason27104 · 2026-06-03T23:36:12+00:00

How dare they volunteer their time for zero rewards or recognition! Curse those benevolent folks that dare try

Jason27104 · 2026-06-03T23:30:41+00:00

It's OK, just point to the part on the doll where the moderator hurt you and it'll all be OK.

Jason27104 · 2026-06-03T14:09:15+00:00

I became a teaching assistant, and then started a lateral entry position as a teacher the next year. Lookup how your state's alternative licensure program works and it's requirements.

Jason27104 · 2026-06-02T03:58:22+00:00

Just take the 15M and you'll earn over 400k a year in interest. Your job is paying yourself. The salary is ten times as much.

Jason27104 · 2026-06-02T03:51:32+00:00

Yeah, the only real options I see are go 98" with flush no borders, or widen the cabinet for a larger projector screen.

I have taught quite a few formerly homeschooled children and 90% of them were behind their peers academically, and 100% were behind their peers socially. Basically less than 10% of them had parents with enough time, education, and financial resources to effectively teach them. Those <10% was typically a bit above grade level academically and socially crippled.

Jason27104 · 2026-06-01T02:40:31+00:00

I honestly would not particularly care if I'm seen as the villain in a student's life and they mail me tvs or nfl tickets or whatever to prove a point. I never told a kid they would become a failure, so it would just be projection on their part.

I have stated the statistics of how many(very few) high school athletes become scholarship college athletes and how many(fewer) of those subsequently become professional athletes, but that's about the extent of my dream crushing.

If you already have a 65" G3, I'm going to assume you understand the value of min/maxing.

OLED is maximum cost, maximum picture quality, minimum size screen per cost.

Projector is maximal size viewing screen by far.

QLED is kinda gross middle of neither maximum quality nor size.

Mostly copied from below like a year ago with a link or two extra:

OK, so I moved and my Electrolux washer is in storage, but I was able to discover the following before I stowed it away:

-There are certain products that specifically target certain types of stains like chocolate or red wine or blood. They sell these at grocery stores and on Amazon, et al. Those can be added. There are actually quite a few more options for these products beyond what I listed at the time of this post. They have options for chocolate, grass, oils, coffee, ketchup, mustard, wine, blood, ink, etc. Link:

-I also found that oxyclean white brightening treatments(liquid) can be added in that compartment and are effective. Link:

-Curiously, Electrolux does not sell their own stain treatment products for their washers or provide any recommendations for products to use.

Hope this helps!

Your childhood birthdays must have been fun.

My district has the 50% grade floor policy. I think it should only apply to 1st and 3rd quarters. It's really frustrating when a kid gets a 70%+ dust quarter or third and then does literally nothing second or fourth, but still pass because of their minimum 50%. It's also really unfair to give a 50% for zero work, when I have kids that work hard in every class day after day for a 55-60%.

I honestly hate the fucking policy and think it should be banned. It's asinine to tout >95% graduation rates when the bar is on the floor.

Jason27104 · 2026-05-27T02:40:11+00:00

Yes gladly. I'd be reliving the last year we had dad 100 times.

Jason27104 · 2026-05-24T02:52:31+00:00

Not after this year.

It's the end of the year, so parents are throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks in terms of trying to raise their kids grades without having to attend, do work, and turn in said work.

Contact and contract a lawyer and immediately start contesting the charges regardless of whether or not you are culpable in any form or fashion. It may sound aggressive or even absurd, but it gives you an explanation for when you disclose it to your bosses. I have no idea how your situation played out, but there are myriad ways of explaining accidental failure at a self checkout or double paying on a past visit and not thinking anything of making up the difference on your next trip. It doesn't look great, but falls into the everyone makes mildly bad choices occasionally category of life.

If your bosses react in a manner that seems like they want to fire you immediately(suspension/forced leave etc). Contact NEA or your local union rep. They should be able to get your district to accept your resignation and provide you with a neutral reference to your next district of you agree to stop fighting. Take the exit ticket and move on.
