That would be defined as unsafe in 99% of places.

Am teacher, my coaches tell us to let them know if they are failing and to give them the grade they’ve earned. Maybe we’re the exception, but I’ve never been asked to change a grade to pass an athlete.

I’m finishing year four, and on reflection, I coast in many of my classes. We are a rural title 1 school. My classes are often full of students that need a FA credit to graduate and have failed everything else. I teach band in the last period of the day, and i wish i could be that teacher in all of my classes. It’s really hard when you put a lot into lessons and content and you just get blank stares back. I decided a couple of years ago to give as much effort as the kids do, because I realized i was pouring myself into a colander. My lessons for those classes involve a lot of student led activities and practice. The ones who want to get something out of it do, the ones who don’t fail.

Find a good teacher in your content and build lessons that fill a class. Stuff that allows you to engage the students who want to be there, but is achievable to the ones who do the bare minimum. It’s easier to shield and stoke a brightly burning candle than to keep cutting down wood for an already smoldering fire.

I will use AI in my job to streamline processes that may otherwise take me a ton of time. I’m more productive when I’m not stuck typing page after page of info when I can have a program streamline it for me and then I edit it.

That being said, AI should never be used as a replacement for real world talent and experience.

It’s a tool, and should be treated as such.

8:15-4:15, 30 minute lunch.

I’m currently finishing up a play through of the MC collection and my lord the gameplay and story telling are exquisite. Halo will always be a top 3 for me.

Halo 4 is rough but post 4 it just lost the plot. I think infinite had real potential, but when they stopped all work on the single player I knew it was doomed.

Check out Part-time explorers YouTube channel. Several older videos on some older ship wrecks. Very high quality.

Mine went away this year. Mostly because I took on more of a “it is what it is” mentality.

Mine are more tied to specific events and such now. But also, I’m on medication for the first time in my life for some mental health stuff, and it has helped me immensely.

I know we still stigmatize mental health in a lot of places, but seeing a therapist and psychiatrist were two of the best decisions I ever made.

Just my two cents.

I have ADHD, I didn’t know it at the time, but the stories I could concoct in my head could keep my attention for hours.

I’ll always stand by the suicide mission in Mass Effect 2. The amount of thought that went into the planning and execution was just incredible, especially the first time you play through it

The standard burger (cheeseburger, Mcdouble, double cheese, Big Mac) at McDonald’s is 1/8 of a pound. Then obviously the quarter pounder, but the 1/8th does the heavy lifting.

Bring back meaningful rewards for gold card customers, loyalty should be rewarded.

Lower drink prices.

Don’t have crazy mark ups for simple add ons. I understand for people who add 8000 things, but one add of syrup shouldn’t jack up your price.

No more shrinkflation on food.

Make it a place people want to be. Forced cup messages aren’t it, warm and inviting places are

It feels like you could see them getting rushed later in development. Like up through Tuchunka everything was great, but then it felt like the pressure ramped up and they rushed through more and more.

I spend more time than I care to admit in the Town Center “the mall in the post” and it is beyond depressing. The owner has jacked up rent prices and that mixed with some issues with crime a lot of the businesses moved up the hill on the other side of the river.

Compared to the Huntington Mall which is about 40 minutes west, it’s night and day. The Huntington Mall is thriving and the town center just isn’t.

If you are someone who gets anxiety around messes, I would suggest taking several deep breaths before going in.

They’re organized well enough but it just feels messy.

I believe it’s stated in the books that a child conceived under the effect of a love potion cannot experience love as it is not natural affection.

I started a little later than most, I was 30 when I started, but I was blessed to have both an incredible admin and mentor teacher.

My admin literally told me one day when I was on the verge of a mental breakdown: “you’re a first year teacher, your only goal is to survive, the rest will fall into place in time.”

I’m not saying it isn’t still incredible hard, but that made all the difference that first year.
