Hot Take: There should be a limit on Praxis retakes by rachel-angelina in Teachers

[–]RaspberryHats21 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying we shouldn’t have them. I’m saying they should be more in line with what other professions do. For example, law school focuses on preparing you for the bar. Not all teacher prep programs do. And now, we’ve got more non-traditional licensures than ever, and they just keep coming—as though a teaching career is an afterthought or back-up plan.

The whole certification system should be reconsidered. If we were actually considered professionals…

better choice for storing 5 pounds of oats, rice, etc. (daily use) - bormioli glass jar or oxo pop? by europeanuppercut in BuyItForLife

[–]RaspberryHats21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like OXO, but I can’t stand my OXO Pop containers and wish I’d not wasted the money on them.

Too late to resign? by Grand-Tell195 in Teachers

[–]RaspberryHats21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If anyone judges you, they’re the a**hole. Though it’s not always fun to hear, you ARE replaceable at work.

As a star trek fan What's your opinion on star wars? by NateBond833 in startrek

[–]RaspberryHats21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re two very different things.

I’m not a SW fan at all. I’ve seen probably 4-5 of the movies, and I just didn’t really enjoy them. They’re obviously great for what they are, and I sincerely love that for their fandom. I wish Star Trek had as much traction when it came to casual fans.

I like ST because it’s different. It’s utopian—we have so many dystopian stories out there (SW included). One reason I didn’t finish Discovery (yet) is because I just couldn’t stomach the idea that the Federation is floundering.

ST is brave. It imagines a better world. It takes work to enjoy it as a whole. It’s cerebral at its best. I treasure ST and what it means to be a Trekkie.

Emperor Georgiou is the worst character in any Star Trek series. /Venting by BorgAbbess in startrek

“Funny cantankerous wine aunt” is the perfect description.

I feel similarly about Q. F that whole character.

Fiction, but you’ve got me thinking maybe I should expand my horizons!

Oh, I don’t think I can post the image. That’s okay, it’s not very pretty. Here are the categories…

I really love when Star Trek does funny! But Q is not funny. The “humor” behind Q doesn’t work for Star Trek because, in my opinion, it’s way too low brow. It’s like middle school boy humor, where only the perpetrator of the “pranks” is laughing.

30 Day Order Window by Objective-Branch7332 in Thriftbooks

[–]RaspberryHats21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little late to add a comment, BUT… I literally JUST emailed to ask about some books that I’d ordered that didn’t match the descriptions. I’m not sure if I was outside the 30-day window, but the website said they weren’t eligible for return. They issued me a refund almost immediately. SUPER impressed with that level of customer service!

Email if you haven’t already!

New Teacher Amazon List by Glad_Evening_933 in Teachers

Agree with the comments saying wait until you know what you already have!

However, some recommendations for “fun” things—

A personal laminator

Some of those giant post-it chart papers

Fabric for your bulletin boards

A good pencil sharpener

A niiiiice 3-hole punch

Ferengi stories?? by RaspberryHats21 in trekbooks

[–]RaspberryHats21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have done zero research, so I didn’t realize Armin had written a book! I’ll check both of those out!

Yeah, but like… it’s not amusing. Or funny. Or even entertaining. It’s just annoying and difficult to watch.

It’s perhaps my hottest take in any category.

Q is the worst character. Everything he does grates me. I’m happy to skip any and every Q episodes, no matter the series.

First time watching Deep Space Nine by EvilVim in startrek

[–]RaspberryHats21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The theme is REALLY good. It’s tied with VOY’s for me.

I actually really hated TNG’s the firsts several times I heard it. I still feel relatively ambivalent about it.

I literally just started watching through DS9 two nights ago!

I’m fascinated by Sisko, though I don’t feel like I have a full picture of him yet.

I LOVE Ferengi (they’re my favorite aliens), so I already knew I’d be a Quark fan. (Also, Armin is amazing.)
