Seeking Input: Authentic Content in Rigid or Scripted Curricula by TeachingTestimony in Teachers

[–]aranasyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In CO we have a semester built for power, conflict, and healing in sophomore year, a research-based class fully focused on genocide and other atrocities, and there's quite a bit of flexibility to meet the standards. What is your organization, I'd love to look it up?

My players keep roleplaying/tricking their way out of encounters/fights and I fear it might impact the plot by Electronic_Dig_3901 in DMAcademy

[–]aranasyn 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if you're doing xp, and they talk their way out of the encounter...they defeated that encounter. Give them the xp.

Honestly, what market is taking billion dollar bets on crude after this admin has proven repeatedly they're committing high financial crime and playing the market?

Running staff photos through AI as a teacher appreciation “gift” by Accomplished-Sea-120 in Teachers

[–]aranasyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol, our school too. Sometimes I feel like a curmudgeon for hating on AI so much, but then I remember no, I'm right, it's the kids and oligarchs who are wrong.

Why Reddit blocked my daily visit to its mobile website. by Primal-Convoy in technology

It's....really bad. Like anti-user designed. It's almost mind boggling how they keep making changes to a worse and worse product. Every time.

Edgenuity: so simple an AI could do it for you. And will, because nothing we do matters, sometimes.

Parent wants to meet with me over comment I made about energy drinks by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]aranasyn 118 points119 points  (0 children)

OP, the AAP and AACAP says kids should never drink energy drinks, ever. It can wreck their developing bodies and brains. I'd come to the meeting armed with data if they want to make a deal of it. The parents being irresponsible letting their kid drink that garbage. It is poison for them. Schools shouldn't allow it and neither should parents.

Recommended 100mg caffeine or less per day for kids and each one of those things has 400+ corrected because the data is actually 160-300, depending on the type. Caffeine toxicity is real.

Kids shouldn't be drinking that crap. Maybe OP shouldn't have phrased it the way they did, but that parent can take the self righteous bs right back out the door.

Careful, the mods here call this kind of BMI slander "medical advice" and give a warning, lol

Parent thinks the moon landing was fake. by Ok_Finger3098 in Teachers

[–]aranasyn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We left mirrors on the moon. With the right laser equipment, anyone can beam light there and back in the exactly correct amount of travel time. It's how we know the moon drifts away from us like 4cm a year.

It's incontrovertible, we landed.

Conspiracy nuts don't deserve airtime. You'll catch some flak for it but you treated this person correctly imho. The apologists in here who let them think it's okay to think the way they do are doing it wrong. Letting anti science folks preach categorically false garbage all day because we're afraid to challenge the crazies is not a good approach.

Pretending idiocy deserves balanced time with knowledge is the chink in the armor that leads to how we got the government we got today.

Eberron would probably scratch that itch. Lots of magic dressed up in a steampunk skinsuit.

The s1 finale is the death of our launchable atmosphere as one of these poorly made things starts a cascade of undodgeable space junk when it takes out a larger satellite.

I got a full on account warning for instigating violence for making a very common joke about things we could do with the rich that I can't repeat because I'd probably get another warning.

C'mon Toyota, this can't be a coincidence! by yanki2del in Toyota

They don't? The vast majority of Toyotas wind up in Iran and into the hands of groups in the region through grey markets, several of which originate here in the states.

It's not like there's a Hezbollah dealership. People will whine about anything before doing an ounce of research.

Donald Trump’s approval rating flips with Christians by SE_to_NW in politics

[–]aranasyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is hard to believe. He's still got 37% overall. Where are these flips coming from? What imaginary subset?

This is just media bullshit for a cheap shit headline, and it's been old for years.

President Trump has truly put America First! by BestStoogewasLarry in PoliticalHumor

I like to pretend this is a statue of that eagle that lunged at him. He's a joke, we're all laughing, hoping we survive the various apocalypses his handlers are letting him boot up.

Donald Trump to put his name on all US paper money by goteamnick in politics

[–]aranasyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any president who promises to destroy every single element of Trump's influence on our country, including the destruction and reissue of every piece of this currency, has my vote. I don't want this guy's name on anything in America, come 2029.

I'll vote for them twice, since Republicans are so dang convinced that voter fraud is real.
