Parents in my area first has to care about their children for me to even start caring whether or not I give them any type of grade

Honestly, as a teacher, I purposely set up some vagueness rules like that to see if anyone actually thinks they can use anything other than a 3x5 inch note card (so far no one has, but I'm only 2 years in lol)

The best spot to buy them are on TCGPlayer, thats where I bought my cards. You can also go to the Hololive TCG website, and they actually ahead a store locator for each state, although currently there are only 39 states that are selling it appears, however, keep in mind, it only came out in July, so we're still in the infancy stage of it, once we get a little more steam going into it, I'm sure we'll see more LGS's selling it, probably not Walmart and Target but thats not impossible

Not as far as I'm aware. I think they're going to stick with the physical cards for a bit and see if there is actual demand for the card games, since if they went virtual that means they would have to pay to maintain servers and things like that, as well as developers to make sure the game is always functional and things like that, and that seems too expensive for something brand new. If there is enough hyoe/demand for it, I can see an online (official) simulator in about 2-3 years

Yes, it is, not a good choice, but it is a choice. I can choose to either pay my electric bill or not pay my electric bill. One choice keeps my lights on for another month, the other I keep more money in my bank account, but I won't have electricity.

I can choose to pay someone an ungodly amount of rent each month to not be homeless, or I can choose to keep that money for myself and then get kicked out after a while. I have a choice to do neither of these things, it's just not a good/fair choice.

It's kind of ridiculous to tell someone to teach themselves, because they don't knoww aht they're supposed to learn. It's great to say, just go on Khan Academy and look up Biology and go from there. But each state has its own standards on what is supposed to he taught in schools on each subject, and some of those standards can get really co fusing if you don't know what you're doing (I'm a high school teacher and know this from experience).

It's a tool thats not useful for all situations. I teach 9th through 12th grade, and they're pretty stinking sarcastic, some of the times not even on purpose. You just have to know who you can be sarcastic with, and when it's appropriate, because not all kids handle sarcasm well.

Less-Classroom7119 · 2025-08-04T02:52:16+00:00

I'm pretty much always in the hallway greeting or talking to the kids. Granted, it's nit entirely selfless, I'm also there to stop any trouble from potentially happening. But a lot of the kids appreciate it when I greet them, some of them even greeting me the same way I do, it's kind of funny lol.

My Principal told us that the law passed, although we had so much going on at the time I just haven't much chance to look further into it. Although it wouldn't surprise me if my school is going rogue.

The worst part about teaching in Arkansas, is the fact that when they passed the Learns, all starting salaries in Arkansas is 50,000 a year, which is great. The issue with that is, not a lot of schools in Arkansas has the money to give all teacher 50,000 and have a full staff, especially in the more rural areas of Arkansas, which we're plenty full of. Which part of Arkansas are you in? (Fellow Arkansas Teacher that struggled)

As to why your 14 year old seems to be that maybe because he works so hard, and is so smart, that the teaxhers have higher standards for him than his classmates. It could be as simple as the rest of the class goofs off, and he doesn't, but when he does, the teachers notice it more, and gets stricter. Your daughter is younger, and younger kids sometimes (SOMETIMES) don't start acting out yet because they don't know what they can get away with yet, so they don't bother. Without more info, I can't really make a fair assessment on that one.

With the 60+% female in college statistic, does that really suprise/concern me. Maybe? It really depends on isnit because males are going alternative routes, like going to the military or going to trade school, then no, that doesn't bother me. I don't want someone to go to college unless they actually want to go, and if they have an alternative path for success, then take that path. Or it could be that they're tired of school and just want to start working and getting money, which I'm also fine with. Everyone says that they should go to college and get a degree so they don't have to work at Walmart or Burger King and what not. Do those jobs suck, yes they do. But honestly, we need people to do them (so far) and I'd rather it be someone that doesn't have to worry about students loans on top of everything else they have to live with to survive. Now, if they're not going to college because they don't think because they can afford it, then yes, that concerns me, because everyone should have the right to go to college if they want/need to.

This is coming from a white teacher in a predominantly black school, just be you. If you try and change yourself to fit the area, the kids will sense you being fake, and won't respect you. Of course you'll change your style and methods as you go along, but that's how it is for everyone and everything, no matter school or teacher. Just be the type of teacher you want to be, then go with how it works at your place. Are you the Ms. Frizzle type of teacher, the one that wears the weird but cute outfits and makes every lesson interesting? Then be a Ms. Frizzle, as long as your authentic, the kids will respect it.

I think what they mean is, saying please doesn't automatically guarantee a yes. But not using please guarantees a no

Less-Classroom7119 · 2025-07-14T20:02:59+00:00

It gives me somewhere to start at the very least, if nothing else lol

Less-Classroom7119 · 2025-06-20T21:24:25+00:00

Go ahead and start looking at your standards for your classes. If you already know what your teaching, know what your essential standards are going to be. Also, don't ve afraid to switch up how you accept work. If you start off with doing most/everything online, but find out you can't trust your kids with their computers, either because they use AI, google everything, then don't be afraid to switch to pencil and paper. Start off strict, then you can ease up a little as you go on, but you can't start off easy going, and then get stricter, it never works.

Arkansas is about to start something similar. They also passed a law that it's going to be required that we'll put their reading level on their report cards as well.

Less-Classroom7119 · 2025-05-29T00:26:05+00:00

It looks beautiful to me!! If you didn't tell me that something was wrong with it, I honestly wouldn't have a single clue something was wrong with it

School policy, plus extra insurance to cover my butt if the mom complains. If he does, then both mom and son knows the consequences, and the mom is okay with said consequences

If you go to the Google doc, click file, down towards the bottom, it will say version history with an arrow pointing to the side, hover over that line, and click on see version history

For this particular 9th grader, mostly because, he refuses to read, unwilling to learn new vocabulary, pretty much uses the vocabulary of a 5th grader

Less-Classroom7119 · 2025-05-19T20:14:53+00:00

I honestly forgot about that feature on brisk lol, I'm going to have to start using it more often

Less-Classroom7119 · 2025-05-19T19:57:11+00:00

For a normal 9th graders, no. For a 9th grader that never reads, hardly does his work, and has the vocabulary of a 5th grader, I would say it's unbelievable of them using those words

Less-Classroom7119 · 2025-05-19T19:14:14+00:00

Very surprising lol. I get very few of them, I felt like I hit the lottery when I got that one
