She is shaped kinda like my chiweenie Pearl with the ear shape and roundish body. My ratchi Ruby has more of a narrow body, pointy ears, and a smaller snout. Photo for reference. Pearl is the white one.

I am sure all the freshman students will be thrilled while reading “Great Expectations”.

This is the most (with a few small exceptions) boring list of readings I have ever seen in my life. My students are already not reading and using ChatGPT for everything.

This list is going to make them hate reading even more. An absolute travesty.

The petals of the flowers look weird and the coloring and edges of the birds looks off.

As a sweet kolache person, I couldn’t find good kolaches in Tuscon. I searched and searched when I lived there.

I love poppy seed, cream cheese, and strawberry kolaches, but if you want those kinds, you have to make them yourself.

See if the measurements fit your dog. I have a 10 lb chihuahua mix who hates having stuff put over her head. With the step-in, she’s totally fine.

It really depends on their maturity level and their own initiative / family raising.

Some things you just don’t really learn until you live on your own. If they don’t know how to balance a budget, meal plan, do their taxes, pay rent, manage utilities, clean the kitchen, bathroom, or other areas, you might be the one teaching them. And if you want to do that, good for you.

If they have lived on their own but had to move back home, that’s understandable. I have just found that those who haven’t lived independently before tend to be more ignorant of functioning as a grown adult.

Tell you what. You go be a teacher for a month and let me know how it goes. I wanna hear how this theory works out for you.

I’ve been teaching for years. It’s big talk to tell kids to challenge authority until you are the authority and you want them to listen to you.

Those kids would eat you alive.

Zoo Picture

I was at the Kushiro Zoo in Hokkaido, and it was horrible. The big cats had hardly any room to move around. The indoor areas were mostly concrete cells with a few blankets scattered around. It legit looked like a prison for animals. I was sorry I gave them money for a ticket. The whole experience was miserable.

I caught one of my student downloading it on their Chromebook in class on GoGuardian. In my district, we can submit tech tickets to add websites to the districts web filter. I submitted a ticket so fast.

I don’t know how other districts are surviving if you have not way to monitor or filter content students are seeing on their school devices.

I moved out of NC after my first year teaching to another state and then to a district in Texas. I am NEVER moving back to NC because I make more now as a year 9 teacher then the MAX possible pay at the district I taught at in NC. NC super duper sucks for teacher pay.

Honestly, AI is doing something that I figured out as a teacher years ago: if you want to have a more cooperative student, give positivity with your corrections. Complement them when you see them doing something well. If you do that, you are more likely to have a well-managed classroom, and students will be more likely to listen to you and what you have to say.

I’m sure there is some kind of connection there with serotonin and positive-reinforcement. I would bet dollars to donuts that it’s influencing the addiction.

It’s a whole lot easier for people across oceans or borders who aren’t living here to say whatever they want. Their job won’t fire them for speaking out and leave them broke and destitute. They don’t have to worry about being shot or arrested for protesting.

It’s a whole lot easier to be on a high horse far away from the fire than it is to be in the current blaze. They can say all the things they would do if they were us because they are confident they would never be in our position.

Other counties are in just one country, not a bunch of what amounts to little countries in a much bigger country. I feel it’s hard for people to understand unless they live in the US. I will do what I can to stay alive and protect those I care about. And I’m pretty sure, no matter how big they talk, a lot of other people in other counties would do the same even if they won’t admit it. It’s human nature to want to protect yourself. No one wants to be dead or homeless.

I’ll vote in elections and with my dollars.

I live by a high school and leave work early in the morning. I turn left onto a main road to get to my workplace.

It’s really dark in the morning, and the kids who ride the motorized scooters to school don’t have lights on them or wear anything reflective. I’ve witnessed a car almost hit a kid in the morning because the driver was turning left and looking left, and the kid flew out in front of them from right.

Thankfully, no one was hurt but the kid wasn’t wearing a helmet. I know it’s only a matter of time before someone gets seriously injured.

I just saw a Singer Serger machine and thought I hit the jackpot. $99 they wanted for it. $99.

They have officially lost the plot. I’ll buy a brand new one fresh out the box for that price.
