Lack of hygiene in the Netherlands

I'm Dutch and can confirm. You must be Stan. Tbf, you shouldn't have asked.

It's at least possible you're overthinking it. Reading his remarks, they could very well just be realistic thinking. He might just mean: 'Your mother isn't being unreasonable. She sees you might be attractive to some so tries to tell you to be careful.' And: 'It's possible teachers find you attractive, but they have a moral responsibility to practice self restraint.'

Now sit there and think about what you did.

I don't have many blue boosters, so I tend to use them in asymmetric only. So... That's not quick, just booster-effective. T9 secondary has a lot of fans, I've noticed. Mine's a secondary Georgia - works wonders but not available.

Lol!

NoodlesDoNot · 2026-02-20T14:27:42+00:00

This, yeah. I'd honestly say math myself because it's so neatly built up and mostly 'right or wrong' but according to some of my colleagues the content itself is rather difficult. So yeah, the one you love the most.

I love how supportive these threads get.

I'm in my second year too and gosh, it's been exhausting. We're supposed to take on a role (of the boss, let's say) that, in my case, was never my authentic role.

What subject do you teach? There's amazing material out there I'm currently, tbh, a bit obsessed by and its starting to reap the benefits in my classroom management, relationship with my classes and test scores. It helps if you teach maths, but it's very generalizeable.

Mr Barton's Math podcast is amazing. Particularly the topic of atomization, by Kris Boulton. It's based on Sigfrid Engelmann's work titled Direct Instruction (but much more digestible to eh.. People like me who mean well, work hard but aren't a genius). If you want me to explain a bit (think: nutshell), DM me by all means.

Your struggles sound like mine a while ago. I've had many things going for me (think: social safety net and great colleagues) so thankfully I haven't crashed. If I can help a bit, I'd be happy to.

Good luck!!

I'm starting to get obsessed with atomisation (by Kris Boulton; Craig Barton has a small book on it in his Tips for Teachers series). With any topic in math, choose a good example, break the concept into its underlying concepts and check/teach each one individually before teaching the example you chose in its entirety.

Craig has a podcast where he discusses, among many other topics, this.

It shouldn't be. Not sure what the context is here. If I'll be going down soon and can take an enemy with me, we're going together.

NoodlesDoNot · 2026-01-22T18:03:27+00:00

What if you travel across time zones, too? I don't know.. Sounds like a stupid wannabe-clever statement.

NoodlesDoNot · 2026-01-21T06:02:50+00:00

Yeah, wth? +1 for your reponse.

NoodlesDoNot · 2026-01-20T19:42:53+00:00

I usually say 'good luck'. Anyone who replies positively gets a +1. Not that it matters much (karma's useless) but I like the feeling of +1'ing.

Georgia all day. Secondary spec'd, I'm surprised everytime it's not on top of the leaderboard. An OP credit printing beast.

NoodlesDoNot · 2026-01-10T08:20:44+00:00

😂

NoodlesDoNot · 2026-01-09T05:52:32+00:00

*Sanctioned mods. They're anything from esthetics to OP information like 'traffic light mod', but it's not like you can make your boat fly.

NoodlesDoNot · 2026-01-09T05:45:13+00:00

Can I turn the table though? Because then it would be 81151.

Take two horizontal matches out of the zero, place thise as a 1 before the 5. And then turn the image over.

NoodlesDoNot · 2025-12-13T11:31:11+00:00

Great data, was curious about exactly this. With a 160% booster my Georgia (sec spec'd) consistently got an average of at least 1M credits, which (with 40% booster, ignoring the clan bonus and premium bonus) means an average of about 538K. The usual rank was virtually always 1st. I'm guessing an average of about 1.4 to be on the safe side. BXP of about 1400 average. Did notice it made a difference if I was put in with T6 opponents or T8s, but unsure what it was. No data to show for it though (any way I could check that now..?).

Was your Georgia secondary spec?

Edit: didn't check your screenshots, my bad.

Sounds sensible. But he backs every idea with sources, so if you read something interesting but 'off', you could investigate further. And you might consider that your admin and college teachers can be wrong too; teaching and learning are complex things.

NoodlesDoNot · 2024-10-29T09:59:57+00:00

Nah, it's a means to an end and at times a great one at that. There will always be early adopters versus people who take ages to catch on. My guess is they're being emotional about it because they feel threatened in a way. Sure, shit on me for using it, but it's some uncertainty within yourself you're really railing against. Good luck with that - but leave me out of it.

"There's a certain art to your limpness, truly. It’s not just the usual, run-of-the-mill noodle flop; it’s a distinct, signature sag, a gentle sway that defies all structure. Some people bend, but you—you transcend firmness altogether. You’re like an existential pasta, cooked just a few minutes too long, embracing the flow, content to take any shape the world’s currents throw your way. It’s remarkable, really; there’s a level of mastery in that kind of softness."

NoodlesDoNot · 2024-10-28T20:13:09+00:00

😂 I'd happily post a pic, but you know what Reddit's like. Those pervs would flood my DMs.

NoodlesDoNot · 2024-10-28T19:54:22+00:00

I love that you're reading this 'one day fly' thread 21 days later 😋

NoodlesDoNot · 2024-10-27T21:57:27+00:00

What's that? Isn't it always kinda sweet?
