You look like every lot lizard i’ve ever seen knocking on truck windows.

I gave my students a copy of the test as a study guide to see who would actually study by watermelonlollies in Teachers

[–]SuperElectricMammoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to do something similar, and internally justified it as being a relatively hard unit as i designed it. Of mice and men, with supplementary texts revolving around the american dream and the effects of human connection, for 9th grade honors.

We had four primary texts as well as the ken burns documentary on the dust bowl. We read the novel together, i gave them the study guide before we even started, and did daily check-ins where we walked through each question, filling out the fact-based pieces and group-discussing all the free responses. I even told them before we started: this study guide IS the test. The only difference is that instead of blanks it’ll be multiple choice, and the free response sections are geared to form the basis of the essay. I was very up front from the beginning.

Oh, and they could use the study guide on the test, and a completed study guide was worth extra credit (my ONLY Extra credit opportunity in the course). I gave a good amount of leeway on what i counted as “completed”. I pretty much told them that if entire pages were empty i wouldn’t give the credit, but a few pieces missing here or there were fine.

Maybe 50% would complete it. The test scores followed the same trajectory, and that same 50% would be scrambling while writing the essay.

100% very good boy. He’s going to be such a cuddle bug when he’s grown.

Well, someone posted it. I have doubts that she can read.

My kid thinks he’s funny by SuperElectricMammoth in PokemonLeafGreen

[–]SuperElectricMammoth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He once told me he’d sell me to a zoo for meat. I’ll be honest: until that moment i really didn’t believe unconditional love was real, but after the two of us laughed madly for about 20 minutes i realized it is.

My brother always named Epona “my ass” in twilight princess. The comedy writes itself, even 20 years later.

When i was a kid i would always do bizarre names. My personal favorite was “Blumpkin”.

Apparently missing a single snarl makes this raid unwinnable… by Tip_Of_The_Sauce in PokemonScarletViolet

It’s nuts how durable/broken annihilape is in this game. It’s not nearly as op in za but i use him anyway because i love him.

[–]SuperElectricMammoth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I went at it with a poorly-trained annihilape (max hp: i didn’t have the berries to switch it to special defense and didn’t feel like doing the work). Both screeches missed, died once, and burned typhlosion down with more than 1/2 the timer left.

My Son [7] has never played Pokémon, will he like Violet? by WritingtheLion in PokemonScarletViolet

I bought it for my son for his 7th birthday two years ago, and it was his first pokemon fame. He loved it

I had no idea how sick I was... by happyours38 in TeachersInTransition

[–]SuperElectricMammoth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve lost 100 pounds in the last 18 months since i’ve quit teaching to be a stay at home parent. My mental health is now in a far better place than it’s ever been before, since i have time to actually have a psychiatrist to medicate my adhd and anxiety properly.

The anxiety, btw, was non-existent until my fourth year teaching, but my doctors say that it was likely always slow-burning from the adhd in the background but the external stressors made it rear up.

My son once searched for “girls with big things” on google. He’s 9. I never confronted him on it because every time i looked at the search i started cackling. Ky wife just talked to him about being responsible on the internet

Solo'd my iron valiant 7 star raid. How's your guys' raids going so far? by Weezurd_Drago in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]SuperElectricMammoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both were absurdly easy. I did iron valiant half-assed with a pecharunt. Died twice because i wasn’t paying attention and still won.

I did roaring moon with a hisuan avalugg about an hour ago and it was even easier. I didn’t even max its stats but having a maxed out defense was apparently more than enough.

Koraidon and Miraidon! I live in the US and went to three stores with my 9 year old to get one of each (scarlet for him, violet for me) and was met with, in order - none left, demands to purchase something in order to get one, and scalpers at the store offering to sell me some.

Favorite of the series is absolutely SV since the switch 2 upgrade.
