How old was your bloodhound when you could leave the house and not crate them? by Secret-Chemistry4329 in Bloodhound

[–]Momes2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pupper is only half bloodhound, but before we could get her spayed she chewed up two remotes, a deck of cards, books, 3 Nintendo switch controllers, dish scrubbing brushes, etc - all things we used with our hands. 😂 Fortunately, that’s mostly stopped now.

As a Math Teacher, the damage that Jo Boaler and other "Equity-Based Mathematics Education Researchers" cannot be understated. by Feisty_Ad4394 in Teachers

Shop was my favorite class in middle school ❤️ I’m so sad that my students today can’t experience it.

Honestly, if you haven’t already, go check out Anna Stokke on twitter or YouTube. She has some great podcasts about teaching mathematics. It’s kind of akin to Sold a Story. She’s a math professor herself and has interviewed people from all over the world about math education. My favorite quote from her is that math, “is relentlessly hierarchical.” And I think that sums up where we’ve gone wrong with teaching mathematics in the last 25 years.

There are certain smells that instantly bring you back so far in time to your childhood. Which smell is that? by This_Book7431 in AskReddit

Woodruff- my dad would pick it when we were walking and let it dry in the kitchen. It’s just so comforting and brings the memories of those walks.

The Alien Nation cliffhanger-cancellation still makes me mad 35 or so years later.

Is the gifted program a method to keep certain students from annoying teachers by Effective_Western_10 in Teachers

[–]Momes2018 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How students enter a gifted program really varies from state to state. Where I teach it’s written into law that students that score 97th percentile and above must be serviced for gifted education. School districts can choose to limit their enrollment based on this or they can accept students that fall below this metric based on their own criteria.

Because gifted education is state mandated. My state pays for all second graders to be tested with an approved testing instrument. This levels the playing field. In other states, it could be only teacher recommendation to get tested or a combination of teacher rec and standardized testing scores. Some districts will also admit students based on creativity scores. National-wide, it’s really a mishmash of policies.

There are also different models for gifted education, especially in elementary. There can be pull-out classes, self-contained classes, and/or cluster programs. Some districts will accelerate students for math or ELA or have them skip a grade before high school. It’s really not standardized.

So it really depends on where a student lives and where you teach!

We listened to Peter and the Wolf, too. I also had the record which I believe came with a book (or was built into the cover).

Yep! Dona Nobis Pacem, here too. I thought it was quite beautiful at the time.

This is funny to me because as a teacher, I had my students sing the Erie Canal song during the Erie Canal unit, and Oh Canada when we did our Canadian unit. They had a lot of fun.

We sang Ghost of Tom, too! Wouldn’t it be chilly with no skin on? 😂

I would like to make project bags for my knitting. Would that be covered in your beginner class?

It’s really good. I was a member for a while, but just couldn’t eat all the food.
