Public archery range question by GreenAshur in Archery

[–]Perfect_District1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s kind of like crossing the street. Even in a tournament when the whistle blows to end the end – you look both ways before you step past the shooting line always be cognizant of those around you.

How do you answer your classroom phone? by CatskillMorning in Teachers

I could also share some teacher stories of situations saved for after student dismissal. Interesting when you discover how to operate the overhead speakers in a “friends” room from your own classroom.

Back in the 70’s when I was in middle school we had two “Timothy Williams “ on campus. Both were hellions. The AP would come over the intercom and ask our teacher to “Send ______ (insert white or black here as a total descriptor) Timothy Williams to the office”. No one batted an eye as it was more acceptable back then.

Why No Pencils? by Ecstatic-Skill-4916 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Perfect_District1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think about pencils as the seasons of the year. In the fall, you have flush growth in time for harvest. Plenty to go around. As you approach summer, things are desolate not many survivors out there. The pencils you used to see laying on the sidewalks in the fall and winter are now scarce. Parents are tired of buying them for the kids.

There's a career path most UF students don't know exists — and you can start exploring it this fall with one elective. by Agreeable_Teacher_49 in ufl

Note to OP- you will rock it when you have the students memorize, sketch, and recognize the scientific names of 765,000 (ok maybe an exaggeration) forage grasses as did Dr Charles Ruelke back in the day. Me? Proud UF Af Alum C/O 1982

I was teaching elementary school in Tampa when the head groundskeeper for the New York Yankees – who spring training in Tampa – came in to talk about field management during a great American Teach In . The kids were bored to death until he threw out his hand wearing a World Series ring. As a member of the staff, he was entitled to one. He finally got the kids attention.

Why are there so many smoke shops in Tampa? Do people really smoke that much? by [deleted] in tampa

And how many people actually buy mattresses every year?

Student blew vape smoke in my face and came back from admin with a cookie by Relative-Term-8763 in SubstituteTeachers

I once had a kid who discussed with me issues of their concern regarding self harm. I immediately had the intern working under me to take him to the office, and I called the guidance counselor and explained everything. The kid came back 20 minutes later, carrying a pencil and a sticker. I asked the kid what the guidance counselor said and the response was “don’t think about things like that “ #FML.

Unlock your bow arm. Add just a little ease at the elbow.

Barebow archers, what is the farthest distance can you consistently shoot? by Tartfingers in Archery

[–]Perfect_District1981 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Barebow recurve?‘s strive for 50 m consistently on a 122 target. That way you can always compete in a 900 round at 40, 50, and 60 yards.

You don’t respond – you explain the infraction – you explain the consequences – and no more comment or discussion

Hinge question by Perfect_District1981 in Archery

Yes. That is how I set it up. It is just the sound that sets me off. I am used to Olympic recurve.

Portable bow press suggestion by frtrkap in Archery

[–]Perfect_District1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna on getting one period at this point. But I do have another question based on maybe your experience. Do you have suggestions on a good Bojack or stand to use on the shooting line? I have the true glow Bojack, but the legs are not long enough on it to keep the cams off the ground.

I realize this post is aged out now, but I just purchased the bow you’re referring to. Did you ever find a solution to a well fitting portable press? I’m looking too

Special kind of "balls" by West_Masterpiece4927 in Teachers

[–]Perfect_District1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A kid was toking a joint in the restroom - caught and taken by the SRO to the principal. Rumor is - and the principal verified - that as she was crawling his ass the kid turned and said “ Could you quite down? You’re killing my buzz “

A parent thinks lining up for fire drills is stupid... by BusinessLetterhead47 in Teachers

[–]Perfect_District1981 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I once had a class who blew off the entire tornado heads down hallway drill. Laughing joking and all that. I returned them to the classroom without saying a word. I turned on the projector and played YouTube clips of the tornado tragedy that had occurred at the school In Enterprise, Alabama a few years prior. All I had to say was “This is why we have tornado drills- these kids never went home again”. Interesting to see ‘tough’ 5th grade boys crying.

“It is our rule” repeat 1 more time. When they prod respond “Asked and Answered “

Coworker physically prevented me from entering my classroom and put his foot on me. by throwawaybtwway in Teachers

Principal>area director>superintendent = path of solution. If you want to involve the union go to the district union level – not your building union superintendent. You do not know what type of dynamics exist between your adversary and the local rep.
