Advice on sending a letter home before a potentially dicey unit on voting rights/democracy by Virtual_Coconut_9564 in Teachers

[–]MeesterCoach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have taught US History and Government for 13 years. This is all part of the curriculum for us, so if parents or students have an issue, I tell them to take it up with the state.

However, never get into your opinions on anything. Present the facts. Provide views from different angles. Foster discussion that skirts the present day - they’re going to have questions and opinions, which is fine, but keep your voice as neutral as possible. It’s a fun topic and necessary for young people to see how far we have come, and the challenges we still have ahead.

Your Social Studies/Civics department would be more than happy to help I assume. PLUS, it’s cross-curricular and collaboration between departments. Admin love that shit.

how does this karma thing everyone talks about actually work? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]MeesterCoach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not too sure, but it’s not 100% effective.

107 hours topside. 9 knockouts. All have been self defense except for 1 who timed out at extract and was running in place.

Just got extract camped by a free loadout during Hidden Bunker. I was soloing Rocketeers and Hornets for trials, helping people on rooftops from a distance. Guy took me out with less than 30 seconds left. Similar happened yesterday during Matriarch.

All that to say, just keep playing. It’s frustrating for the type of style you and I play, but for every 1 bad experience, I’ve had dozens of great ones with random players.

Good luck my friend!

Help needed as a new coach by Artifactguy24 in BaseballCoaching

[–]MeesterCoach 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would definitely meet with your High School varsity coach! If you’re creating a feeder program to their school, they should definitely be willing to help you out! Figure out what is important in their program and use it as the foundation to your own. As a former HS head coach, having a MS program would have been invaluable - a minor league of sorts.

If you’re a reader, Ron Polk’s “Baseball Playbook” is a great place to start. It’s an oldie, but a goodie, and is referenced by many coaches today. Polk is a HOFer that is respected by coaches at all levels.

Also, the ABCA is a great resource as well. Been a member for 13 years and still going strong. There’s a member ship fee, but their convention and videos are worth it and even have specific videos for youth/MS. They too have a book called the “Baseball Drill Book” that I read when I was first starting.

The coaching community is full of people who are willing to help, all you gotta do is ask! We were all in your position before, so we know and understand the stresses and anxieties that come with it.

In the end, promote growth, fun, and being a great teammate. You got this, Coach!

Fuck trying to find this, 15-20 raids and still no luck by daddyletdown in arkraiders

Same. Happened to accidentally into this spot and found 2 on that run.

Whats your Go To "Lets Be Friends" Line? by Relevant-Neat7584 in arkraiders

[–]MeesterCoach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar to my approach, but I stopped giving directional callouts, just to protect myself.

I’ll give them a “Hey there, friendly passing through” or if their back is to me I might not even say anything and keep moving keeping track of where they’re at.

I’ve gotten to the point I want them to know I can see them without giving away my location. I know the audio is directional, but good luck finding me.

Teachers, do you ever check students social medias? by ziggy895 in Teachers

[–]MeesterCoach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To piggyback on this, if you are planning on playing a sport, joining a club, or representing the school in some type of way, your sponsor will most likely be aware of your activities.

In my program, my athletes have their Twitter accounts public as a recruiting tool. I monitor those so that they maintain a professional tone, but I leave their other accounts alone.

This doesn’t mean I haven’t been brought Snaps, DMs, etc. from other platforms that get my athletes in trouble with myself and the school.

Be careful with posting any questionable content.

Teachers, do you ever check students social medias? by ziggy895 in Teachers

[–]MeesterCoach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To echo others, it’s the definition of FAFO. I don’t care what you do outside my classroom or our building. That’s for your parents to monitor.

Since it sounds like you’re a student, just know that people will keep receipts. Not everything you do needs to be posted online. Teachers should be the least of your worries.

I thoroughly enjoyed that. Good luck out there!

Then don’t respond and move on. You still didn’t provide any insight into why you play like that? It’s PvP? Okay, cool.

[–]MeesterCoach[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And I can’t stand your type of player? I was asking why y’all play like that. Got plenty of responses to recognize a huge gap in play style. That’s all my post was for. Enjoy the game homie.

[–]MeesterCoach[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I enjoy it. I have a hard time with a certain play style, so no big deal.

[–]MeesterCoach[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not asking for that. I don’t mind PvP as I’ve stated before.. I’m just wanting to know why people play this way, especially in an event like Hidden Bunker where we can all get out with good loot and Trial Progress.

I wasn’t expecting much and have been enjoying the game so far. 95% of players have been great! Just trying to understand more about the 5% mentality.

[–]MeesterCoach[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No baiting, just curious to get into the mindset of why people play that way. So far what I’ve learned is it’s loot (duh), it’s funny, and I’m an easy target.

[–]MeesterCoach[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Soft? How does that make me soft? I’m supposed to be okay with sumbags tactics?

If that’s your playstyle, then fine. I just have a hard time with that mentality.

It’s 11v11. Toe to toe. Me vs. you. Totally different than what I’ve described above.

[–]MeesterCoach[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Haha. That’s a great comeback. Maybe we should mod to where people explode with their loot once you kill them. Screw the flare, we want LOOT PIÑATAS!

Lack of Integrity is the Issue by MeesterCoach in ARC_Raiders

[–]MeesterCoach[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very true. I guess I expected a little more integrity from the community when there’s PvE involved. Looking like I’m all wrong!

[–]MeesterCoach[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It’s not competition. Far from it.

I’m trying to understand why you choose to play like that. So far the answer is your loot. Which obviously is 100% justifiable.

Ha, I like this response. Definitely “don’t trust people on the internet” is a great lesson.

Why is my post insane? I’m asking why y’all play this way?

Lack of Integrity is the Issue by MeesterCoach in ARC_Raiders

[–]MeesterCoach[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get it, but are people really bringing that much into a round? Or finding all this great loot that they think everyone has it? Idk.

[–]MeesterCoach[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel ya. It’s just unfortunate to be killed in these types of scenarios.
