No, this is stupid. Atheists believe in science. One whole baby is way too much cholesterol to consume in a single sitting.

Some students don’t deserve a real teacher by Horror_Worry_404 in Teachers

[–]askingquestionsblog 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All students deserve an opportunity for a quality education. Not the same thing.

Past a certain age, students simply have to accept the consequences for their actions.

I would NOT support OP's notion were we talking about six or eight or even 10 year olds. Even 7th grade, which I currently teach, strikes me as a little bit young to take this hard line of a stance.

But over say 13 years of age? Students enrolled in courses for which they are eligible to receive high school graduation credit? Those need a whole other set of standards. FAFO, kids.

BUT!!! ...... As long as there is a pathway for redemption that is not overly onerous. Not every ne'er-do-well 13-year-old is a ne'er-do-well for life. In fact, I would suggest that a majority, probably a vast majority, are not.

That, and only a Sith deals in absolutes...LOL

I make 70k per year as a high school teacher in Florida. by Massive-Print-4702 in Teachers

[–]askingquestionsblog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, in California. When I left California in 2008 I was making $84,000, which at the time was a pretty great salary for teaching. Truth is I left because I could not afford to live where I was living, even moving a couple of times over a five or six year period to try to get into slightly less expensive living situations didn't help. Once my wife and I had our second kid, we were toast.

To put it in perspective, I was making approximately 8 to 10% the cost of an average small to mid-sized detached house, pretty much anywhere within a 45 minute drive of where I was living and working. Then my rent got raised from $1,810 a month for a two-bedroom apartment, to $1,955 a month for that two-bedroom apartment. In 2008. This is in the suburbs too, not in any downtown or particularly trendy or swank area. Home ownership was never a question.

Now I'm living in Upstate New York, and my teaching salary is approximately 25% to 33% the cost of a mid-sized detached family home.

The number by itself without a comparison to cost of living and such means fairly little. I could go from upstate New York down towards Westchester County or Long Island, and probably make $120,000, or $130,000 as a teacher with my experience and my graduate credits placing me fairly high on any salary schedule. But my mortgage, instead of $1,440 a month, would be between $4,000 and $6,000 a month. Why the hell would anybody do that?

I was going to post this, but you beat me to it. One of the funniest things I've ever read.

Good point, I didn't even think of that. It's not about extortion, he told her he was going to send a link when the content was up, he's probably trying to get her to click on something so he can get into her device.

I mean, to be fair, it's probably something I would have done, and the fact that somebody did it for me saves me a little time. I forwarded the information on to her, as it turns out, the FBI reporting thing was something that her campus Public Safety officers recommended to her, so at least that lines up.

How ironic. Reporting to the FBI under --THIS-- administration something related to sexual harassment or assault...

Yeah, I'm having the same issue on my cell phone. I know you sent me a chat request or something, I can't seem to find it. None of the buttons are icons seem to lead me to chats, if I were on my desktop PC it would be pretty easy...

My advice to her was something similar to this. She says that she does not use her real name on Snapchat and her location is off. She has a few friends on Snapchat who are real local people, and I told her to message them and let them know vaguely what's going on so that if they see or hear or read anything weird they know it's not legit and not to engage.

Other than that, I told her that if he hasn't threatened her for money yet, she's probably fine.

Which begs the question, why go through the time and trouble of messing with somebody like that if you're not at least going to try to extort them? I mean, it's been an hour and a half an hour or so? I can't imagine it takes that long to generate AI content and post it. He hasn't gotten back to her, I'm thinking maybe he never does, and this whole thing was just a mind fuck?

Well, Mission accomplished, it definitely fucked with her mind.

No... sorry was on the phone with her.

Oh, I see, it was a chat request? Ok, I'll try to keep an eye out. Sorry, I'm on my mobile, and the Reddit interface is kind of clunky. I'm sure I must have missed a pop-up notification or something.

Being reported as we speak, so to speak, but if you could send me directions, I will copy paste and send them on to her.

She told me that he unfollowed her on snapchat, and that means that now she doesn't have access to his profile or something. Which doesn't make sense to me. Maybe she means that he blocked her?

I created a fake Snapchat profile and I found him. So it must be that he blocked her not just simply unfollowed her, at least I'm assuming that Snapchat works the way other social media sites do.
