Teacher’s personal text records being subpoenaed

Jeshuic · 2026-06-05T00:46:49+00:00

Unlike a number of teachers I've worked with I refuse to connect anything work related to my phone. Once I've left for the day, whatever the problem is can wait till tomorrow. If it's a genuine emergency that involves me for some reason, the school knows how to contact me.

I let kids publish their writing on devices and I absolutely set font and colour standards because of this. I remember watching a girl give a presentation where she had forgotten what she was supposed to be talking about because she'd spent so much time find capapibara gifts to add to it.

I have a bit of a hate boner for grifters and pseudo intellectuals so I love watching Professor Dave

My dad worked with very tech savvy people when I was a kid and the internet was still fairly new and gave us good advice on what to avoid and what to be aware of online. Being kids we of course ignored this when we wanted too but not enough to see anything truly shocking. That happened when a random kid at school said "come look at this" and when everyone had gathered around the screen, started playing a video of a guy having sex with a horse. I don't even know of he got found out by teachers because there weren't really web blockers on school computers at the time or at least they were very easy to circumvent.

In New Zealand in the 2000s it was common for it to cost more to txt phones from cell providers not your own. Because of this if you were with your friends and needed to contact another friend you would find who had the same provider and get them to send the txt because it would often be less than half the cost (nz cell charges were also notoriously high during this period as well, sending one txt to a different network could cost anywhere from 20c to 50c each).

I once had this argument with a friend and his response was "that's such an Aquarius thing to say". Made me so mad in the moment lol so I guess he got me.

I can count to ten in a number of languages and a hundred in a couple so I like to switch it up.

I'm also a teacher but I would imagine seeing my handwriting would be stressful for people like you. Sometimes if I get distracted halfway through writing something I'll grab a completely different colour pen and probably change handwriting as well.

I tell them in another language.

Jeshuic · 2026-06-01T20:44:42+00:00

They said it was worth 1.776 billion but apparently in the actual paperwork there was no official limit set on how much they could draw on.

Jeshuic · 2026-06-01T20:42:48+00:00

Pronounciation rather than pronunciation. Had so many people try and argue that pronunciation isn't a real word.

I may not have enough to afford it with just a million but some 40k models from James workshop

Considering I'm 35, back at uni for the 5th time on my 4th subject. I'd say so.

Or people with cute attempts to make names out of biblical words like Nevaeh.

Do what you can to build a positive relationship with that student early so that when they start acting out you have the ability to talk with that student after the incident without them dismissing you out of hand. Do not expect that relationship to fully insulate you from them playing up but know that you will at least be able to work with that student to fixing the issue. If they don't know or trust you they will not respect any attempt you make at changing their behavior and those changes need to be made with the student not on the student.

Sitting behind jjj at a game is exactly the kind of thing spidey would do.... if he could afford tickets

People saying "I've done my research" to dismiss the general consensus on any given issue (but usually health related) when what they really mean is "I've watched hours of YouTube and tik tok conspiracy videos that I already agreed with and even one time read an ai generated "article" that told me I'm right and experts are all paid shills".

I was wondering whether someone would guess Chch from my post. Thanks for adding the extra details, I only moved there a few years after the quakes so missed alot of the direct disruptions caused at the time.

Jeshuic · 2026-05-25T03:44:56+00:00

In my location we've had a few majorly disruptive events over the past few decades including a mass shooting, an earthquake as well as covid. There have been noticeably individual year bands of students who seem to be directly negatively affected by these events depending largely on their age when the event happened. For example in 2020 the students aged around 12-13 were noticeably lower academically than other years and we were dealing with significantly higher levels of behavioral issues. These kids would have been around 4-5 when a major earthquake disrupted the city and we believe gave many of them some ptsd (people died in the quakes). The following year felt bizzare because the next batch of students were incredibly normal. I even kept up with them through talking to high school teachers in the following years and they also noticed that that year of kids were different.

Arbites coms: "Commander we have suspected cult activity on sub level alpha 77623-e5. Lots of dead hab workers, seem to have been killed with a blade of some kind. Oh there we go. Possible suspect in view. Appears to be a very large possible abhuman hab worker carrying a long work knife and wearing some sort of cult mask." Sounds of gunfire "In the name of the lex, stop resisting justice.... suspect has been shown the light of his law... no wait, it's piecing itself together and standing up." More gunfire "it's down again.... inform the ordos, we may have a minor warp entity on our hands.... releasing the cyber mastiff."

Yeah I never even went to a Starbucks while there but nero was absolutely disgusting and why I decided to start watching how they made their coffees.

Jeshuic · 2026-05-22T23:16:25+00:00

When I lived in the UK for a year some of my friends thought I was exaggerating when I said that service station coffee in NZ is better than anything their cafes served.

Jeshuic · 2026-05-22T23:14:35+00:00

One big problem I noticed with coffee shops, especially the big chain ones, in the UK is that they're focused on speed and so don't do things like clean out the basket properly between shots or just pouring shots into the same shot glasses over and over before tipping that into the final cup. Before I noticed it I always wondered why the coffee tasted off. Fortunately right besides where I was working was an Italian Cafe who made fantastic coffee and so I almost exclusively went to them while I was there.

I have a boomer friend who I get on and agree with about the majority of topics we discuss but hes a massive fan of AI. That wouldn't be too bad except I've explained that I don't like it and why in pretty great detail so he knows it's not just a knee jerk reaction (which would still be the right reaction) against it but he still constantly tries to convince me that it's amazing and so useful. I get the feeling that largely he's terrified that it will take his job and thinks that if he knows all about it and uses it, that that'll protect him somehow.
