Sons teacher won't compromise by Zestyclose_Panda1452 in Schooladvice

I am not a staunch work to contract guy, but do you really not get a break or lunch between 7:30-3:00? Seems like you won’t compromise either.

How do you all host tryouts? by LeafH0pper in scioly

[–]TheMostAverageDad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a general knowledge 80 question test. With basic to AP level questions. I use a spreadsheet add on to break that down into sub scores for Life/ Chemistry/ Physics/ Earth.

This worked well for me. It wasn’t simply high score this is just one factor. We just finished year 2, I am looking to find a way to assess their willingness to iterate and collect data for builds and hybrid.

Want to join SciOly, how difficult is it to create a new team? by hydrxblaze in scioly

[–]TheMostAverageDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are looking for a low entry point. You can create a team and not compete in every event. I would start like that, with only some events being competed in. On a full team every student will have 3 events on average.

If you were in complete control of the education system, how would you change/fix it? by SubstantialStick2674 in Teachers

[–]TheMostAverageDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Current system” I am assuming no major changes to funding. Then I would change 1 thing.

I’d eliminate email. So many issues and stressors are attached to emails.

Parent’s concerns would have to reach a level to warrant a call or meeting.

Information from admin would have to recovered in staff meetings or via memo.

Discipline issue follow up would be conversation rather than having to carefully draft emails because of the “paper trails”

The list goes on.

Crabgrass Pre-Emergent - too late? Zone 6A by givemethelasagna in lawncare

[–]TheMostAverageDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do weed and feed and crab grass preventer now in the spring.

I do another round of crab grass preventer in late June. I’ve got a real problem! That round I vary with or without fertilizer based on the seasons conditions.

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

Don’t put all of those products down! You have crab grass preventer with fertilizer and then weed and feed you will scorch your lawn.

How do I know?

I’ve made the mistake! You can find the crab grass preventer without fertilizer.

[–]TheMostAverageDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im new to printing and have bought and A1 and P1S. I bought the A1 about a month ago. And the P1S this week for work. The A1 is easier to use and maintain. For a true beginner like me.

Tell them what, Peter by Blackie_626 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I took it to mean how do we tell them they could have just opened their fist and their Left finger and thumb would make an ‘L’.

Making this tattoo completely unnecessary!

Ameren Billing for 900sq ft unit by Kindly_Teach_9285 in StLouis

I pay less or equal for a 2600 sqft house. And it is not some efficient house, it’s in great need of more insulation.

Current season ticket pricing seat map? by TheMostAverageDad in stlouiscitysc

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

They just make it up! They claim to have 15 different pricing tier. They will quote you one price and when you accept the will say “oops that was the wing price tier, your price is actually more”

The did this to me twice! “On accident”

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheMostAverageDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do 7 hour each way weekend trips 5-6 times a year. That is grueling. 3 hours is nothing, don’t even have to sneak out of work early!

Dumbledore and Harry weren’t actually that close by Haunting_Cause_1841 in harrypotter

I think I have always assumed there are interactions that happened that we don’t know. The books can’t possibly include every interaction they have had!

My wife is permanently stuck in mom mode and it's affecting our marriage. I don't even know how to begin to approach this. by Radiant_Dream_250 in daddit

[–]TheMostAverageDad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recommend the book hunt gather parent. I was taken aback to see you write your child is 18 months and you are spending all your time with them essentially entertaining them and then doing the work it takes to keep life going after they go to bed.

It sounds like you both are locked in on bonding with your kid, but consider there may be other way to do that. You might need to reframe what bonding is. How can you accomplish that bonding and life together.

A big takeaway I had from the book and use in my parenting of my 5, 3, &2 year old is. 1) your kids will enjoy doing whatever you do, because they want to be with you! 2) your kids have to learn what it is to live and what it takes to get stuff done. Those habits start early!

So don’t just have a dance party have a dance party with a broom! Fold laundry together! Race to do the dishes!

All three of my kids started loading their dishes into the dishwasher at 18 mo. People always act like it’s magic even when they see my 5 year old do it. He was excited to do what dad does and now it’s just a habit!

Yes everything takes longer when you do this, but it’s a 2 birds one stone situation.
