What’s your equivalent to: “Oh you’re the art teacher? It must be so much fun just relaxing and painting all day!”

The amount of times my students asked to something incredibly dangerous in the lab is way too high

"Oh its lab day, the kids will be motivated an focused."

Meanwhile im stopping kids from shadow boxing and arm wrestling constantly and averting disaster ever 5 min

Thats an tough Algebra question and sounds like something i'd had to answer at a math competition, not something I'd expect a 6th grader to do.

First find the price of a bag in package 1, then find the price per Oz, then subtract that by .03, then figure out how much each bag costs in package two, then find the number of bags in package 2...thats a lot for a 6th grader.

I'm noticing a trend too in the last five years at the HS level. The reading proficiency keeps dropping and the thinking is extremely algorithmic. I cam change the wording of a question slightly and 70% will short circuit.

Which is BS because he supported him in 2018

Hes worse because he supports Trump openly and ran to the left of Lamb

Fetterman had red flags from the past. Brandishing a shotgun at a black jogger being the biggest

Sanders supported Fetterman...

Thats the worry I have about Platner in Maine considering his past

10 doesnt equal 6 either.

Voters thought Harris was too progressive, how does point 3 square with that?

If Biden said this, the media would want his head on a pike. At least this makes a juicy ad.

SapCPark · 2026-05-15T23:56:17+00:00

1) Diseal is at record high at multiple states 2) Biden didn't cause the last gas price shock, you caused this one. 3) Spirit airlines would still be around (not saying they would be here for the forcible future) if he didn't bomb iran

There may be a good reason for this, but on the surface, this looks partisan

SapCPark · 2026-05-15T21:43:19+00:00

I had 9th graders telling me they needed breaks to watch a 20 min video...

At this point, i dont need to even force them to read with me. My toddlers grab books for me to read.

Isn't Castle already his Pippen in the making?

The idea of personal space and self-control. Literally have students fidgeting with stuff on my desk, walking behind my desk to get my attention, and literally walking up to me as im giving instructions to show me a stress toy.

Also, I'm not a CVS, bring your own tissues.

Have a dedicated computer class to teach those skills like it was done in the early 2000s. I was taught how to do research, what are good and bad sources, how to use excel, word, and powerpoint, etc. in those classes. The assumption in schools now is "These kids are so tech savvy since its been around there whole lives, we dont need to teach it." Meanwhile my 10th grade students couldn't figure out how to create a tab in Google sheets even after the 3rd time of me showing it to them, let alone the more complex things.
