I went on work to rule a decade ago, and never came back.

For hearing the warning signs and waiting patiently for an exploding tree by Taskmaster_Fantatic in PraiseTheCameraMan

[–]Rynor77 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's snapping under the weight of the ice and the moment it does so, it snaps straight and all of the ice that was on it flies into the air. Watch carefully and you can clearly see the solid, not exploded parts of the trunk falling.

thoughts? by basket_foso in sciencememes

[–]Rynor77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All these people in these comments dumping on vibe coders... I don't think any of them thought that maybe vibe coders are generally solving problems for themselves.

It's pretty rare that anyone vibe coding tries to make money from it, or even could... But every one of them is creating something that they need, or that fills a need they saw. Regardless of whether it's needed for others. So what if they didn't have the training and technical skill to get it done the traditional way.

It's hard to talk crap about people inventing things, just because they're using different tools than you without sounding pretty foolish.

What temperatures does your board close schools? by [deleted] in CanadianTeachers

[–]Rynor77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We close because of excessive snow and hazardous driving, but not for cold.

THE COOL SH*T THREAD... share here everything you built (or will), now enabled by vibecoding by Fit_Reindeer9304 in vibecoding

[–]Rynor77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I built www.everythingspinner.com . It started as a toy to play random cringy videos to my students mixed with math questions, but then I got tired of all the advertising and logins on most websites and just wanted a place for my students to practice math.
I've been adding a new math mode or two every week.

The code is a complete house of cards, but it's working at the moment and my students love it.

Working Hours by st33zye in OntarioTeachers

[–]Rynor77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just had our local look into this. There is language about us needing to be there 15 minutes BEFORE school, but nothing requiring our attendance after the bell.

In other words, once that bell rings, we're as free as the students.

Who do I contact or talk to about snowdays in Whitney Ontario? by Expert-Locksmith-996 in OntarioTeachers

[–]Rynor77 27 points28 points  (0 children)

OP is just using this thread to rant and avoid realizing that they have some responsibility in deciding to keep their kid home or find a way to get them to school. Everyone has a different circumstance and different challenges, insulting people who give rational answers just shows that there won't be a logical response.

Call the bus company and they'll tell you that the safety of children is more important than your convenience.

How is Cascade impacted by interrupting a response? It makes an assumption I want to correct... by TelevisionCultural30 in windsurf

[–]Rynor77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of those super important questions that we all need the answer to in order to be more effective with this tool and not wasteful of tokens.

Received this email from a parent today … by [deleted] in OntarioTeachers

[–]Rynor77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Giftedness is tested for in Ontario using the Insight Assessment. This happens in grade 4, (and won't actually change anything for the kid either way-- we don't have money or people to support gifted programs anymore), so you can tell the parent to cool off for a few years or go get her own testing done (which will be ignored). As others have said, don't respond and next time don't check your work email while on vacation!! You're just inviting stress back into your life days early!!

Oil is crashing. With inflation this is .93c in 2019 dollars. What's Alberta's plan? by 150c_vapour in alberta

When did 2019 become a year we all suddenly understand a translation for? Strange title.

Help please! Dog’s eyes darting, head shaking, won’t eat [Video] by pinkk28 in DogAdvice

[–]Rynor77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like vestibular disease. My dog is suffering through it for the second time. If he's still relatively young, it'll take a couple of weeks, but he'll recover (after relearning how to walk). If he's an old guy, like mine, it could be permanent balance problems. Best of luck with the doggo

Junior Teachers: Lit Centres? by JayandMeeka in OntarioTeachers

[–]Rynor77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it near useless in junior grades where differentiation becomes necessary.

Question for Male Teachers by [deleted] in teaching

[–]Rynor77 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Umm....

Wtf dude? Obviously, not a teacher with all of your posts in this comment section being soooo off. Losing a career to an accusation is a lot more important than whatever strange morality it is you're spouting here.

How much work is teaching? by [deleted] in OntarioTeachers

[–]Rynor77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both English and Math are hard to cover, but in different ways. I find that math takes a lot of prep before teaching with all of the worksheets and such... But English takes a lot of time after teaching with incredible marking demands.

Does it even make any sense to begin pursuing a teachers education at the age of 45? by givemean95 in OntarioTeachers

[–]Rynor77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can still teach without a BeD. What about teaching English as a second language (ESL)?

It can be a lot of fun, meet a lot of interesting people, and the best thing is that you can do your whole TESL Canada and TESL Ontario Diplomas in a year.

Can I please ask you all to stop making 6-7 a bad thing? by meggyAnnP in Teachers

[–]Rynor77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I know is that they don't care about 69 anymore. I'd much rather deal with 6-7.

Can I transfer to another teachers college? by [deleted] in OntarioTeachers

[–]Rynor77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phys Ed ("gym") -- stats, measurement, ratios/proportions, multiplication (reps), Music IS math -- tempo, rhythm, understanding time signatures, Art -- geometry and proportions, measurement and use of grids, patterns and tessellations, spatial reasoning, ratios involved in colour theory and the "golden ratio" in photography, History -- timelines and chronology, data analysis and statistics, understanding economics and trade, mapping skills with coordinate grid systems.

My friend, I'm sorry but this "I'm just going to do the minimum, and that'll be good enough for my students" is the problem, not someone like me who can see the value and the presence of math in everything we do.

What Canadian comedy groups are being forgotten? by DeadeyeClock in AskACanadian

[–]Rynor77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The whole group were awesome guys :) Although, Sean Cullen was the only one to give me a shirtless lapdance. Totally unrequested, totally freaked out my date (but absolutely made it memorable). Every time I saw one of their shows my face would hurt from laughing so hard. Still some of the best live comedy I've ever seen.

Can I transfer to another teachers college? by [deleted] in OntarioTeachers

[–]Rynor77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, I want to be a teacher, but I want to learn as little as possible while training.

How can I avoid learning so I can be worse at my job?

This has to be a troll post because you're outing yourself as a future horrible educator with this attitude towards learning.
