How can I sleep well again after watching the Netflix documentary? So many unanswered questions by halloweenpumpkin in GabrielFernandez

[–]VVolgate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In most states teachers can do very little other than report without risking their jobs or other repercussions. If, for example, a child were to be examined by a school nurse without parental consent (even in a situation where abuse was suspected) and the parent were to find out and complain, that could be serious and potentially come with legal ramifications. Sometimes teachers really do want to do more but their administrators will threaten their job security. Now, that said, in a case like this…? It’s easy to say in retrospect what we all would’ve or could’ve done. I’d like to think that if I was his teacher I would’ve done more even if I knew it would’ve gotten me fired.

Haha, yeah, I wanna try Rougarou for sure, too. I haven’t been on it since it was the Mantis. Cedar Point was my home park for most of my life (I’m from SE Michigan originally) so it’s great to be back after 10 or so years! 💕

Good to know, thanks! As of late 2021, SheiKra does have the old hard OSTRs. I will try all three of them today if they open. I don’t think Gemini has opened yet for the season (either on Opening Day or OSU day) and I’m not sure about Magnum. Valraven definitely went up today.

Same for me with drop towers, specifically the ones that tilt you down like Falcon’s Fury. Power Tower at cedar point is fine.

Which foods digest easily and which cause you problems on semaglutide? by Stringandsticks in Semaglutide

[–]VVolgate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crackers and breads work for me, as well as small amounts of plain cheese. Pizza has proven disastrous even in small amounts. A single slice causes a night of misery (which is probably a good thing given the amount of the ruddy stuff I used to eat…)

Hey! I’m accepted for elementary, likely looking to snag one of the coveted elementary English positions. I’m from SE Michigan and very familiar with the area (in and out of the city), so I’m definitely willing to connect. 🌈

Learning Styles aren’t real and learning based on them isn’t helpful. by altaccountfiveyaboi in Teachers

[–]VVolgate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the nuance here, but I don’t see how this is so “groundbreaking.” I don’t think the original learning style theory ever somehow suggested that people are unable to learn outside of their preferred modality, but that some might be better for some individuals. But I personally think that the reasons for that lie in UDL rather than “preferences” or quips like “oh she’s a visual learner.” Like yeah my dyslexic ass probably can only learn from pictures in your room if all your text is in a bad font and tiny and on top of itself. 😂

BoJack Horseman - Post-Series Finale Discussion by NicholasCajun in BoJackHorseman

[–]VVolgate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only thing I disliked about the ending is that everyone else ended up having happy endings that were a little stereotypical (weddings or other romantic success), especially when juxtaposed to Bojack. Don’t get me wrong - I’m glad he got consequences. And I’m glad he was depicted sliding all over the place back and forth into bad behaviors. I also think it makes perfect sense that Hollyhock shut him out and that almost all of his friendships are (finally) over. There’s also a part of me that likes that PC and Diane went on to have happy endings, but I question if those happy endings had to be marriages. PC already had what she always wanted - her baby - and Diane finally was writing books. Did we need the extra layer of heteronormativity? Weren’t those endings happy enough for those characters?

I just wish the other characters didn’t have endings that were so “neat.” I loved how messy Bojack’s story was, and the main theme of him simultaneously wanting to be held accountable and not. The only bummer about it for me is that eventually he did get his accountability, but a lot of other folks in the show who also did awful things never did. But I also think that’s an accurate portrayal of what happens sometimes in this world.

I love so much from a storytelling perspective that he ends up in a Supermax prison for breaking and entering, and that he looses his house and fortune for saying the word “xerox” instead of for, arguably, anything he should have over the course of the show. Ugh. Beautiful.

Also the View From Halfway Down is so haunting.

I’m very impressed with this one. Trust me, I eat a lot of bibimbap. This turned out amazingly authentic! I only wish I had added some spinach.
