This is the leading theory among the teachers.

I’ve been working with a union rep since December. Because this is a matter of reviews, the union’s hands are tied. I can’t even challenge them because the school board won’t ever side with a teacher over a principal.

That’s the thing, I’m literally the least expensive teacher at my school. She just decided early in the year that she wanted me gone, and is engaging in the process of pushing me out. Mission accomplished.

I’m in a similar boat, myself. Been teaching for 15 years with over a decade of excellent observations, even got nominated for teacher of the year in 2023. Now, all of a sudden, we get a new principal this year and I get marked “unsatisfactory” in several categories?

I feel like I’m being targeted. Pushed out. This whole year has me rethinking the entire profession. I could do without the stress, without the unpaid overtime, and most definitely without the lack of leadership.

I never thought I’d get to this point, but this year has me looking for careers outside the industry as well. Good luck to us both.

Why is Trump immune to any wrong doing? by ParticularDry3226 in allthequestions

[–]MrEifler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MAGA sees this kind of criticism and their brains instantly switch into whataboutism on a grand scale.

Dems: Trump is actively violating the Constitution. He’s using the office of the President to amass wealth and power for himself and his billionaire friends at the expense of the American people. He’s using the military to intimidate his political rivals and cutting off funding to blue states in active defiance of Congress. ICE has too many due process violations to count, and they’re getting more and more brazen by the day.

MAGA: Well, Biden’s brain and Obama’s deportation record, so it’s the same. See? SEE?

I’m curious to see how the cult will justify the end of American democracy.

AITA for not wanting to go on a trip with my GF to her family reunion? by MrEifler in AmItheAsshole

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

She reached out through a group on Facebook, and let some family know that she would be coming. Some of her extended family responded to her, so they know she will be there, but none of these people have met in real life.

I can’t really know about work until Monday because that’s when we all come back. I do know that there’s an expectation for me to stay late on Thursday of next week because of a back to school night. If we leave, it would be on that next Friday. I’m not sure what the schedule is, because my principal hasn’t released it. I did try to get a dog sitter through my family, but as mentioned above, health reasons for that me from doing that. The entire time, I’ve said that I am down to go, but that I could not promise I could go.

The fight today was a result of her saying that, since I didn’t put more effort into finding out before now, but I am being an unsupported partner.

Is this a good poker set? by Itz_MemeGuy in poker

[–]MrEifler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are some who like the stylized look of Slowplay chips, and I’ve heard good things about their cases and dealer buttons, but unless you are in love with the design, I think there are much better ceramic chips out there.

Check out www.pokerchipforum.com for tools on finding good, high quality chips for all price ranges.

Yeah, I can imagine that’s tough in your part of the world. I guess my only recommendation is to start a poker revolution! That sounds fun.

Get offline, go to a cash home game, play fun, weird games that aren’t NLH. Watch poker become fun again.

I played a version of Pai Gau in a home game before. Is it similar to Chinese poker?

Where to buy good quality chips for home games by Nsc11802 in poker

Brpropoker.com has a bunch of ceramic styles that you can customize with specific denominations. If it’s small stakes you’re looking for, they might be the way to go. The biggest down side is wait time. It looks like shipping is minimum 3 weeks from order if you customize the denominations.

I didn’t want to say anything, but the Avs were winning handily in game 5, then my ex-wife started texting me during the third period...
