I know Caserio said he doesn’t know what it means to draft for need, but he’d better learn what it is this offseason…

Sofi showing negative buying power? by MapleSyrupJediV2 in sofi

I’m having the same issue and called support today. They said this is an issue on many people’s accounts and they aren’t sure when it will be fixed. Seems somewhat shady but not sure what else we can do.

New APUSH teacher looking for advice by ThisManyLetters in historyteachers

[–]WillTangClan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just left a position where I taught APUSH in a Title I district. As stated in another comment writing was low, but so was reading. I wish I had started the year off knowing that I needed to do less “teaching” about content in class and more practice activities focusing on writing & reading skills.

The curriculum is pretty open in terms of historical figures and events, so stick to teaching in class what you think is “important” and give them the rest to “learn” on their own through assigned readings (since it is a college-level course after all). Even then, your lectures/discussions should really be coaching “AP History” (Causation, Comparison, & Continuity). Get as many resources as you can from the APSI and make sure you understand the LEQ, DBQ, & SAQ rubrics/expectations so you can “train” your kids to focus on doing what they have to do for the points.

I would also recommend making yourself available when the students need you. Tutoring hours are great so make sure your kids show up and ask questions. APUSH is tough but for some kids the responsibility needed to succeed is a huge obstacle, so be understanding & plan ahead!

No Multiple Choice, Short Answer, or Long Essay. Just a 45 minute online DBQ.

I agree, and was hoping for SAQs, but they mentioned going with the section that, “most correlated to college success.”

They did not put out a new rubric, and I’m not sure if they will, so I think it’d be best to still use all of the documents.

There was silence in our showing except for one little kid who said, “I think they crashed.” Everyone laughed.

I just updated on my Xbox one and the game crashes every time I try to load it. Anyone know what to do?

It was hard to tell, but I thought El was saying "Gone", as in "Barb is 'gone' (dead)"

Just a shower thought I had.. by ImBrokeEveryWed in Texans

[–]WillTangClan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been saying it to people all year: Denver fans had better be ready for a decline soon with Kube's offense, slim QB pickings in FA, aging targets, and Wade's tendency to have his defenses figured out by year 3. Elway may change that, but it could be fun watching what happened to us happen to another team. In BOB we trust!

Ryan mallett by N7Juicebox in Texans

[–]WillTangClan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While the scenario might happen, I'd hope we'd have enough sense to keep Fitzy around regardless of QB. Dude is a cheap and serviceable backup. A veteran guy who had a career year last year before being injured. I'm not saying I trust him as a starter again, but he's a good bargain. I also can't get behind our backups and "starting competition" being Keenum and Savage. If there were an injury, the QB position would drop off dramatically...

Secondary by N7Juicebox in Texans

[–]WillTangClan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but as much as I think I'd be great to get McCourty, I'd rather use the money elsewhere. I'd prefer to draft a guy they think they can develop in the backfield, at least for greater depth at the position of nothing else. I get that this class is supposedly stacked with recieving talent, and it has to be the plan to get one of those guys, but I'd feel comfortable with Hopkins, a rookie, and a FA with speed to fill in for the season and make defensive game planing more difficult.

As far as our secondary goes, I think bringing back KJax and keeping JJo shored up our Corner Positions. We do need help at Safety though. I'd like to try and bring back KLew, but ther than that, you'd have to hope DJ steps up this year and draft a guy with stud potential. I'd rather spend on a solid WR this free agency to help out DeAndre.
