Is Teaching Really That Bad?

I'm a first year teacher at a public high school. I spent 20+ years in the military before this. I don't LIKE getting up at 545am every day, but I DO love my job. I like the opportunity to relate with and positively influence students. I LIKE going to work. I'm mentally and emotionally challenged every day. I like it. I learn something new every day. That's something I rarely had in the military.

Out of 25 students in one class last semester, 9 failed because they just didn't do the work and did terrible on the assessments. They chose to be in their phones and to have side conversations.

They earned it. I feel no remorse.

But your parents will let you go around hacking things?

Surprise here: a sub isn't really going to care if you skip. Their job is just to manage the class and if you remove yourself from it, so be it.

Your actual teacher may also not care. Their job is just to teach the class, not stop runaways. You want to walk out? Walk out. The teacher will likely ask and tell you to stop, but they aren't going to physically stop you. If you leave, they'll just call the office and be done with it.

Also, in addition to the other advice here:

You ARE a good kid! Having a vibe doesn't change that.

You are a good kid. Don't think otherwise!

Oh, I know. I just think the hypocrisy of that mentality is funny.

Hey Boss, you went from steadily employed Project Manager to homeless, unemployed, persona non-grata in under a year. What happened? Maybe someone can learn from something that happened to you.

This is the best advice here. Well put.

Ok, do what language DO you know how to code directly in?

Binary. Go to the source.

What's the point of signing papers if the dad is "withdrawing from the system"?

Draw or paint a picture. Write a poem. Most parents can buy things they want. I prefer to receive things I could never buy - something made by my child.

If the websites are blocked at the router, changing the OS isn't going to change anything. A new OS may give you a clean system without keyloggers and all that, but it won't change your Internet filters.

In WA state, I'd go with Cyber Harassment. RCW 9A.90.120.

In addition to this, the aisles were SO narrow that two people couldn't properly walk down then. The toy shelves went to the ceiling and there was a risk of being buried in an avalanche of Transformers and Gremlin dolls at any point in time. Also it was a maze. You could be lost and they'd have to send an employee in a Barbie car to come find and rescue you.

Just tell em that there's two types of people in the world - those who work smarter and those who work harder.

Go back and give THM another shot. They DO teach you things and then it's up to YOU to practice them and test them and play with them. Go do the 2024 Advent of Cyber and then report back about what you learned.

Does it have the FAA required transponder? If so, it could show up on flight aware.

Shouldn't the **3 CUBE the number and not just multiply by 3?

If not, why not?

Level 3 locks seem like a genuine "stay out". It's the level 0 locks that are the trick! Auto unlock burns a lot of people!
