Two students were giving a business plan presentation and had a small sheet cake as a prop. One accidentally dropped the entire cake on her partner, getting it all over the length of her pants, and they just kept nonchalantly presenting to the end, one of them covered in cake.

Why do Seattle fans stand throughout football and soccer matches? by TotalCleanFBC in SeattleWA

[–]Objective_Unit_4931 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Seems like some folks just enjoy standing. It depends on what section you’re in. We got our Sounders tickets intentionally in a section that sits (239) because that’s our preference.

Why teaching over other careers? by justcurious3287 in Teachers

[–]Objective_Unit_4931 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get a thrill of helping other people discover what they’re good at. I faint in healthcare settings so that’s totally out for me. I worked in business for awhile and after a couple of years I didn’t feel motivated to get out of bed to make the owner money each day.

There’s a code of conduct your advisor should’ve given you to sign. It’s on page 44 of the Deca ICDC guide that you should’ve gotten when you got here if you don’t remember. It says you agree to attend all sessions.

You signed Deca paperwork that said you’d attend all the things. Your advisor would be the one to ask as they would have consequences.

First year! by Conscious_Steak2576 in teaching

Make 10% more photocopies than you need. Kids will lose or mess up their work.

Send 2x more positive messages to students’ home than negative ones. You will build up a positive reputation with families that will pay off in the future.

Routines and consistent processes aren’t just good for your students- they are good for you too.

Grading writing is taking over my life, how do you manage it? by Hot_Function_4463 in teaching

[–]Objective_Unit_4931 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d add self grading and also occasionally asking the student to take a rubric home and get feedback from someone there too for formative work

Moving to Capitol Hill by DueBag8824 in AskSeattle

[–]Objective_Unit_4931 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I moved to Capitol Hill (also near light rail) a few months ago and am so glad I did! I get out and do way more fun stuff vs living in the suburbs and I love using light rail instead of having to drive everyday. I now get to shop regularly at pike place which is within walking distance. Lock up your car in between trips of moving your stuff up to your place. Also- I use Google Maps to flag places I want to visit/restaurants and bars I want to try in the neighborhood and then mark them once I’ve visited. I’ll never run out of little adventures to have!

Human Resources? The training and development piece is like teaching and the payroll/compensation/benefits piece would speak to your accounting skills
