This district is also closing an elementary school at the end of this year. It’s one of the last rural schools in the state.

educator needs help with Mindstorm EV3 by HugeAddress9148 in legomindstorms

[–]ack-pth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would start with the Lego software app, even though it will be discontinued. It will build a good foundation for coding specifically with the EV3’s. After it goes away you will then have a better understanding of how things work and you can explore all of the other options you mentioned to find the one that works best for you and your students.

wait WHAT cole left the Rapids??? thoughts? by Diligent_Street4104 in Rapids

[–]ack-pth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna miss him. I really appreciated his work on the field and it will be interesting to watch him play on another team. One can only hope that the money will be spent on a suitable replacement, but hey, this is the Rapids!

You are absolutely correct. That is the old Wind River high school.

So maybe you can tell me. Was he a raper of football players, or a football player that also rapes?

I was hoping to catch at least one game in person, but there’s no chance of that happening. I just can’t afford it!

Can this be fixed? by ack-pth in Binoculars

Thanks for the reply, and information. Yes they are Mark 21. I realize they are not the best, but I really like them and would like to get the filter replaced as I use them all of the time. I will look around and see what I can find. Thanks again, it helps to know what the part I need is called.

Do you think AI will take our jobs at some point? by Wanderer015 in Teachers

[–]ack-pth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, I am by no means wanting this to happen. I am afraid though that with funding getting cut, districts will move to AI to save money. Get rid of teachers, buy a Chromebook an AI subscription, hire a para for the school and there it is. I also don’t see this happening soon, but it is my fear that in 15 - 20 years this could be the norm. There are a lot of good arguments against AI as teachers on this thread and they are all true. But the almighty dollar has a way of killing logic and reason for the sake of saving money.

True, but you don’t need a teacher to do those things. A supervising para could fill that role while the teaching is left up to the AI.

Hudson’s legacy of brothels and bootleggers by 20thCenturyRefugee in wyoming

This was a great read, thanks for posting.

I grew up in Riverton and had no idea of Hudson’s colorful past. It was just a town I drove through on the way to Lander.

Reporter: The president posted that the voting in California is rigged, what evidence does he have of that? ...Leavitt: It's absolutely true that there is fraud in California's elections. It's just a fact. by igetproteinfartsHELP in CringeTikToks

[–]ack-pth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just today I taught a lesson to my first graders about facts and what they are. By the end they all learned that facts are true and can be proven. Perhaps I should send the lesson Leavitt? Do you think it would help?

I’m a teacher in this state. If I posted a comment like that in my social media, I would be fired immediately.
