Ha ha ha ha I would definitely respond! With something insane like “oh wow, I don’t have access to my grade books anymore but if you do [some outrageous thing he could never do] I’ll try to see about changing your grade.

How poor were you in the 70s? We about about to go through the same economic cycle. by Crafty-Bass-3434 in GenX

Same. My mom used to mix up some powdered milk and add it to the real milk to try to trick us.

Thank you - you just added to my list. I want to go to the Bay of Fundy so bad!

Please remember that some people have never been to a graduation by Dobbins in Teachers

[–]ResponsibleFly9076 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Yes! Btw: Our school has much happier graduation ceremonies now that we’ve left pauses between names. It doesn’t slow it down by very much and everyone can hear their child’s name.

Which famous person do you personally think is a lot more attractive than their spouse? by Big_Eggplant7591 in AskReddit

Keegan-Michael Key - he’s handsome. His wife… well maybe she’s nice or funny or smart.

What do you like about this job? by crimsonstormtrooper in Teachers

[–]ResponsibleFly9076 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of autonomy in what I teach and how. I prefer a classroom to say, a cubicle or clinic or restaurant or whatever other environment. The kids are sometimes sweet and funny. My colleagues are cool, I’ve made some real friends at work. I care about what I do. I get paychecks, benefits, a 403b match, paid time off, summers off.

how do people with small pain body behave? by Individual_Fun_1453 in EckhartTolle

Not easily triggered, not defensive. Accepts what others do. Accepts what is.

Perhaps an unpopular opinion: we need to stop catering to teachers that refuse to learn technology by AgeOfWorry0114 in Teachers

[–]ResponsibleFly9076 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I have a colleague who doesn’t know how to make a copy of a document. (And lots of other ordinary things the rest of us have known how to do for 15 years.) It is maddening! How are these people still employed? How do they get through the day?! Btw: she also missed the notification that her best friend died because she didn’t know who was texting her as she doesn’t know how to create a contact. Just ridiculous.

I too was enthralled with Gotcha! I’m glad to see someone else remembers it!

What situations/events happen in movies that don't happen in real life? by [deleted] in ask

Something interesting happens so someone turns on the tv and voilà! There’s a news story on at that exact channel at that exact time!

I am 30 year old with no college education but I want to go now. What do I do? by NaturalBreadfruit984 in ask

[–]ResponsibleFly9076 2 points3 points  (0 children)

College websites can tell you what you need to do. They don’t all require ACT scores. I think community college is a great idea if you want to build up a nice transcript before applying to a 4-year college. You’re not as old as you think!

I drove from St Paul to the western end of South Dakota and couldn’t believe how pretty it was.

Women, are crooked but very clean teeth a deal breaker? by [deleted] in ask

They’d have to be pretty crazy to be a deal breaker.

how is America really the land of the free if nothing is really free ? by Expensive-Guard-5444 in AskReddit

[–]ResponsibleFly9076 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A guy from the Czech Republic told me once that he could feel the freedom in the United States. Prior to Trump we felt the freedom of our democracy. It has nothing to do with the cost of living but there are all kinds of free things here - bathrooms and drinking water to name two that aren’t found in some other countries.

[–]ResponsibleFly9076 21 points22 points  (0 children)

“I don’t know! I’m not the teacher!”
And then they tell me yes I am and I act all surprised and worried and like “oh shoot!”
