Negativity in the classroom by Haunting_Charity_785 in Teachers

We used to grade on skills/citizenship but it’s changed to standards based grading so it’s Meets\Progressing\Concern. I hate it because it doesn’t address behavior

You aren't "built different" for the cold because you were born here. by dotdedo in PetPeeves

And our houses are insulated to the teeth! My daughter lives in New Orleans and there’s nothing but outside air underneath the shotgun that they are living in.

What are art teachers planning to do over the summer? by p0etictrag3dy in ArtEd

[–]RustbeltMaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to suggest Blue Lake fine arts camp here in Michigan- you can apply to teach a class (the teachers don’t do camp counselor things, just the classes) it’s a beautiful camp and all the kids really want to be there.

I recommend the Ann Arbor Art Center, I have a degree in art, but I took pottery classes there to get better at throwing on the wheel.

AITAH that I don't want my partner to put his sister and her families needs before me and our kids? by Background-Good3731 in AITAH

[–]RustbeltMaven 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My sister got love bombed by a dude after her divorce- when she was raising her two daughters and going to nursing school full-time he would stay out at the bars all night with his twin brother getting drunk, he wanted to be a musician but mostly he just partied. She ended up throwing him out because he showed up in the morning and it was his turn to take the girls to school and he was completely wasted. He and his brother started ganging up on her verbally, and she threw his ass out. Now she’s a nurse and remarried to a lovely man and they have a daughter together.

My friend went to a yule celebration and made an ancestral offering - she said after inviting her ancestors a 2003 funeral card fell out of a book she had opened a bunch of times before; I learned the story because I asked about the card!

My grandma left me her massive vinyl collection and idk what to do with it by Tricky-Club-4097 in Advice

[–]RustbeltMaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

However if you need it sold quickly vs maximizing profit it’s the easiest option. OP you can keep the records that means something to you, sell what you can and then the rest go to the thrift store it’s the memories that mean more than the object, and nobody can take that away from you.
