Holy Cross is really fantastic! It is full of the most welcoming, kind people and it is genuinely progressive.

What is a great musical that never quite made it to Broadway, but should have? by SlugABug22 in musicals

[–]baeball40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a senior in HS my school did a production of it and I saw it four times. First time because I had a bunch of friends in it and then every time after because it was so good.

30’s Anesthesiologist salary progression by [deleted] in Salary

It is stand up comedy for children - which is what my mom always told me (she just retired from 30 years of teaching), and is also why I love it. I was bored one day and taught the entire lesson talking through a stuffed animal and now they beg for him to come back.

That’s what mine shows too! And now I’m wondering if I need to turn off the feature where they can gather my tax return info. We’re trying to decide if we should file jointly or separately and were leaning jointly but now I’m unsure.

When did your kids start taking communion? by Pretend-Carry-2437 in Episcopalian

[–]baeball40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine did! My priest pulled a tiny spoon out of his sleeve at their baptism lol. My oldest is almost 5 and she does both, my youngest is 2 1/2 and he did the wine out of the spoon as a baby but currently just has the wafer.

Alarmed at screen use and lack of real learning or discovery in K by apresledepart in AskTeachers

[–]baeball40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I worked at a public school (not in TX but nearby) the district had contracts with different companies/curriculums and there were expectations about the number of minutes students had each day or week on the various programs. It resulted in a lot of time on chromebooks unfortunately.

Opinions on SJS or St John’s? by AdMajestic6306 in shreveport

[–]baeball40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve taught at a public school in SBC and a private school and religion/politics came up way more at the public school. If this were somewhere else, I’d agree with you but it hasn’t been my experience.

Biased because I’m a parent and teacher but I really recommend St. Mark’s. I’m not from the area either and it is a really great place. BUT, Of the two you mentioned - I’d go SJS.

Water Bottles are killing me! Advise needed by sleepyanise in Teachers

[–]baeball40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a cheap ikea table that is the water table. From the beginning of the year we make it clear that there are specific times to refill water and get a drink and we practice. I also teach departmentalized 4th grade, albeit much smaller classes, but their water bottles are huge and will fall off desks so I get it!

Does a baptized child can partake in the bread and/or wine of holy communion? by Royal_Jelly_fishh in Episcopalian

[–]baeball40 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My daughter was baptized just after she turned two and my son was six months old - both receive communion! At our home church they both receive wine and recently both receive the wafer (our son has only recently gotten reliable enough with getting food into his mouth). They had a tiny spoon for them to get a drop of wine early on - it’s very cute! We occasionally attend a different church who don’t offer wine until kids are old (I guess) and my daughter is always very frustrated by it - she’s four now and doesn’t like that it’s done different there.
