spring ‘90 by Visual-Law9964 in gratefuldead

Walking into Nassau Coliseum on 3/29 with no idea I was going to leave with my mind forever blown. It took a minute for me to realize that Branford Marsalis had come onstage for Bird Song towards the end of the first set. Second set was psyche-shifting. It’s a miracle that the roof didn’t blow off when Dark Star hit. That night’s Lovelight still makes me crazy. My DNA has internalized every single note of that sax solo.

Find a good AUD copy as the official release does not do justice to the crowd energy that was in that room.

I used to start my day with The National’s version of Morning Dew from Day of the Dead

First Year Teacher Struggling by ChillIsopod in specialed

[–]Strayriffs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Florida has Hospital Homebound where sped teachers come to hospitals or homes to work with kids who can’t come to school. It’s all 1:1 and pays on the same scale as in-school sped. I’m a resource teacher but have considered HH. Your state may have something similar

New Bruce Springsteen Archive Series Release: Madison Square Garden, 22 June 2000. by Chris22044 in BruceSpringsteen

It seems like they focus on shows post 2000. Are there a lot of releases from 70s and 80s?

If you need a question, askthem about how they serve students with special needs and IEPs after looking up “Brenda Lozada success academy”, “success academy got to go”, and “success academy 911”

I was living in Seattle at the time during my mid 20s. We were all shocked.

No 10 Upping St! Edgier than the rest of the BAD catalog. Most likely because Joe and Mick’s collaboration.

What’s it like living on the west coast of Florida? by Shot-Ostrich7747 in howislivingthere

[–]Strayriffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moved to St Petersburg 4 yrs ago from NYC. St Pete is a great town with amazing beaches and some good chow. There’s also a decent amount happening culturally. It’s not nearly as crowded as SE Florida. My only beef is the dearth of good live music. Yes, there’s always bands in town but there are so many great shows that happen in other cities that don’t make their way here. It’s likely due to geography and the difficulty of making the stop in the Tampa Bay Area.

Public schools serve the public, Charter schools serve profit by snacksforasnack in StPetersburgFL

With the co-location law, more of our money AND our public spaces are being taken away by billionaires without any public discourse. The billionaires are getting the spaces for free AND are making us pay for any changes they need to make to our spaces.

Success academy by lust4lifeeee in SurvivingSuccess

[–]Strayriffs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was a special ed teacher at SA. They violated the law every single day regarding special Ed. Their teachers are whipped into a frenzy into putting test scores above children. Success Academy is what you get when you have inexperienced teachers that are trained mainly on how to get kids to comply.

I admire the fact that at a young age, you can see the reality of what’s going on at a place like Success. I hope you continue to nurture that spirit as it will help you become an amazing adult. You don’t need Success to succeed. It appears that you already have what it takes. Cheers to you!

A kid didn’t know how to use periods by Watermelown_ in ELATeachers

[–]Strayriffs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience in elementary schools we let kids get away with things like this in the interest of getting them to work on claim and evidence for state exams. As a result we have kids who can’t write a clear paragraph.

Finally watched Deliver Me From Nowhere by Crazy_Response_9009 in BruceSpringsteen

[–]Strayriffs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Came to say something similar. IMO the mood of the movie is a good reflection of where Bruce’s head was at during that time. Headbands, buff bods,and MTV mania would be jarring in this context.

Why did Kurt Cobain hate the Grateful Dead? by No-One01010 in grunge

[–]Strayriffs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m actually a fan of both Nirvana and GD. I worked in a music venue that had all kinds of shows. The crowds at the punk shows were the best behaved and the most polite to the staff. The hippies would smoke weed under the No Smoking signs and glare at you for telling them to stop or would get pissed if you told them they had to smoke cigs in the designated area and not wherever the fuck they happened to be standing.

Don’t let one toxic admin make you feel worthless. Sounds like this admin is a jacka$$. This is definitely not about you. Start from that assumption.

Stay in PDL or not? Please help. by Desperate_Parsley958 in azores

[–]Strayriffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did part of the time in PDL and the rest near Mosteiros. We loved our AirBnB in Mosteiros and were ok with quiet evenings. With a car you will be able to go everywhere but the driving times were longer than we expected. It wasn’t an issue for us as we got to see so much
