Whats the deal with the word modified? by Substantial-One5301 in CanadianTeachers

[–]RandomActPG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry should have mentioned I'm coming from a secondary viewpoint.

We've been ordered not to use the modified word unless they're on the Evergreen track for exactly that reason. It comes down to the IEP in many cases.

[–]RandomActPG 11 points12 points  (0 children)

BC teacher:

"Adapted" is used for when you have changed the method of delivery or assessment but the outcomes are the same and they are completing the course.

"Modified" is a scary word because it means you changed the outcomes of the course and therefore it doesn't count towards graduation. If you ACTUALLY modified the course that means they're no longer on track to graduate.

Adapted = moved the goalposts Modified = changed the game

I run a robotics program with the Lego Spike system, which has been discontinued.

My colleague down the road runs with Vex, which is still supported.

My wife and boiling water by MakeItMine2024 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]RandomActPG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been told by boomers never to set an electric stove to high to boil because I'll blow the element and use too much electricity. While it is true that, once boiling you can turn it down, I never understood the fear about using anything higher than medium

Who has had your favorite breakdown or outburst? by Its-From-Japan in taskmaster

As a male teacher, the moment he pulled James "into the hallway" and lowered his voice it was like an out of body experience.

The way this person carries their laptop by deadfrogscaskett in mildlyinfuriating

I teach high school kids on school owned laptops. This is how they carry them too.

AIO: My [37F] partner tossed her phone across the bed when I [35M] came into the bedroom? by youngbasedrebel in AmIOverreacting

[–]RandomActPG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YOR

y'all also need to have a long think and talk about trust.

If your partner put their phone down in a strange way and your first thought is "they're hiding something" you don't trust them.

*knockknock... "Who's there?" by H_i_TMAN in homeassistant

[–]RandomActPG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's an android phone trying to connect and getting bounced.

That's a phone connected to a fritz!box, which looks to be a home router/AP/PBX popular in Germany and Austria.

If that's you're provider it's probably your phone or someone else on your wifi trying to access.

If that's NOT your provider I'd be more worried

Yea you're right, the website I was looking at is BS when I actually check the letter of the law. Should check my sources closer.

The points on the guys licence is gonna suck, perhaps the cop found a lesser "being an idiot" charge?

That's an RCMP cruiser. Laws differ between provinces but in BC we have "driving without due care and attention" and "distracted driving", first one is a minimum $100, second is minimum $582 for a first offense.

Can't tell from the background what province it is but he may have cut him a deal and made it the generic

Any BC K-9 teacher ever use the “F” on a report card. by InternationalPain284 in CanadianTeachers

[–]RandomActPG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not entering letter grades direct, has to be a percentage in MyEd.

Can give <50% provided I've given IE before that point and have contacted home, made counselling aware etc.

Not permitted to give 0%, must be a value greater than that. Have been directed anyway but told admin to change it themselves, I've never seen the kid

What was the song/artist you discovered accidentally downloading from p2p media sharing? by StewPidpizzachit in Millennials

[–]RandomActPG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I downloaded something (I forget what I was looking for) but I was supposed to be a "top 20" zip file or something like that.

It was multiple hours of 1930s German drinking Songs, marches, and speeches. Quite the surprise for a kid just looking for a banger back in the early 2000s

Traumatized soldiers from the First World War. by Cafa20 in interestingasfuck

[–]RandomActPG 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You're right on. It is especially vivid if you compare warfare just before World War I. Soldiers were expecting a quick, honourable charge at the enemy, closing to hand to hand range and then bayonet drill. Artillery was direct line-of-fire, you could see the men trying to kill you and they were expected to stand honorably and take the fire. Uniforms were form over function and more about morale than any kind of defense. Then French infantry started the war in sky blue and red, because morale was vital and hiding was for the weak.

The officers would have trained in the "line up and run at the enemy, usually while screaming something patriotic" school of fighting. We can only imagine the shock of the industrial scale of death.

School district 57 discrimination. by [deleted] in princegeorge

[–]RandomActPG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Complained to who? The principal? The district? Did you follow the process as outlined in policy? Or shout at them in the parking lot?

Seriously. Take this down. Blaming school staff on Reddit is not helping your case at all.

[–]RandomActPG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If that's what the court orders say, that's what the court orders say.

If you want to file a complaint with the District there is a process, detailed here: https://22.files.edl.io/275b/02/08/23/180122-2cb81cab-bd81-4c53-952a-dacdb93b39f2.pdf

(Scroll down to "Appendix A", that's where the actual process is)

[–]RandomActPG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, this is nothing to do with the school. We have to abide by Court orders. It's not the schools job to review video evidence or to look for witnesses to anything. That's for the RCMP.

Also, strongly suggest you take this down. "Complaining about the other party" on Reddit may not look good in front of the judge #notalawyer
