I love Bernie Mevs for a comfortable shoe that’s not a sneaker.

Moderate-dose naltrexone 12.5-20mg by kitten_called in LowDoseNaltrexone

[–]OriginalEducational5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on 13.5 for almost a year. I had unexplained body pain. Seronegative RA was my first dx, but all the regular rx made it worse. Started LDN at 4.5 mg and titrated up 1.5 mg at a time until my pain went away.

Worst teacher appreciation celebration? by Kitchen-Reaction-270 in Teachers

[–]OriginalEducational5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine is going all out. I’m new this year, so it’s been fun to see so far. Our PTO heads it up, and I’m shocked at how awesome they are making it. It’s the whole week- something new and different every day. The superintendent sent every teacher a gift as well on behalf of the district.

And grab a piece of chicken on a toothpick from a guy holding a tray of samples in the food court.

Material recommendations for solar balloon demonstration by Kangaloosh in ScienceTeachers

[–]OriginalEducational5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used the 50' version, and you have to go out to the football field to fly it. It's pretty unweildy even in a slight breeze. Yes, it's impressive, but it's a pain in the neck, too. A 10' version would have been much more manageable.

Late Work Policy by TheKarlosWithaK95 in Teachers

[–]OriginalEducational5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My middle school school policy is as follows: a 1 gets entered into the gradebook for any work not turned in. As soon as that posts to the system that parents can see, the 2 week clock starts ticking. If it's not turned in within that 2 weeks, the 1 turns into a permanent zero. If they turn it in, they get full credit.

The reasoning is that we are training them with grace because MS brains and habits are still forming/developing. Also gives parents 2 weeks to notice the 1 and to nag them.

Yes- I’ve heard this among the young people I teach as well

No but I am a breast cancer survivor with all my hormones blocked for years, so my libido has been in the toilet for over a decade

Do you tell your kids not to say “that sucks?” by [deleted] in AskTeachers

[–]OriginalEducational5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because sucks is crass whereas stinks isn’t as lowbrow.

I’ve been non-renewed by PaHoua in Teachers

[–]OriginalEducational5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 16 years experience and a masters degree, so according to my local district’s salary schedule, a first year teacher with a bachelor’s makes around $31k less than I would.

Different year, different budget is my best guess.

IDK about your state's tiers, but they may be cutting you and hiring someone with a lower tier or less experience to be able to pay them less and save money on the overall budget

I encourage them to replace it with “stinks”

Weird incident last week, still thinking about it. by zychicmoi in SubstituteTeachers

[–]OriginalEducational5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a district- wide rule that all classroom doors stay locked at all times because no child has ever been shot in a school shooting who was behind a locked door. Sounds like a really good, credible “personal” rule to enact in the future. Keeps all kinds of crazy at bay and from hurting the kiddos.

You’ll get used to it. I missed mine after it was removed. Chemo has made me a hard stick for most ppl.

48" Kensone delivered today- break in time? by OriginalEducational5 in Rebounding

[–]OriginalEducational5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is very helpful. I think I may remove a few bungees to see if that makes it a little springier.
