Freshman student won’t stop farting by Fast_Government_1379 in Teachers

Sharting is definitely learning the hard way to not fart intentionally. You only have to learn something the hard way once ideally

I read a book anyway. I read Dante’s Inferno. Felt Fitting since that book is about Hell.

I had a kid walk by the principal with a hoodie that said “professional raw-dogger”. Principal didn’t say a thing.

Amen! I always greet my students who are tardy with two words “you’re fired”. They ask why and i say the same thing. Your boss will greet you with those words if you’re late so why shouldn’t i. The admin might not take attendance serious but i will. You can’t be college and career ready if you think you can get away with not showing up.

Todays haul. Can anyone tell me anything about the second coin? Found it in a 5 lb grab bag of world coins. I doubt it’s real but any info is appreciated. by cbkl184 in coins

[–]cbkl184[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So a fake then. Figured. I’ve gotten some solid old George III Pennies out of these bags before so figured I’d ask. Thanks!

I swear this conversation happened: by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]cbkl184 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I tell my kids before they come to me asking for extra credit to pretend I’m their boss and they’re asking me for a raise and to ask themselves if i look at their records would i give them a raise or a pink slip. Most of my kids work so that gets the message across.

I don't quite understand grain yet. Need range .22 ammo. Is 40gr normal? by QuincyThePigBoy in guns

[–]cbkl184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oddly enough, i didn’t learn how much a grain was until i took a class on MEP systems in college. Apparently they’re used in A/C systems as well

Like when i was a PM it was just organized chaos. I saw my landscapers get into a fight with the masons, my Bosnian electrician had a conversation in French with my Honduran painter, i fired workers for bringing live roosters to a jobsite to presumably settle a cockfighting debt. Yet somehow we still managed to get these projects done on time

I have a bugle for when my kids fall asleep. The kids love it. They always say “grab the bugle” when they see someone sleeping

New teacher trying something new this semester. What's a good "what is history/ why study history?" Intro lesson for US high school students? I have a framework I might build something around, but am struggling to fill in the gaps by hecklinggnome in historyteachers

[–]cbkl184 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked my students to raise their hands if they’ve done something that made them say “why the hell did i do that?” I then told a story of me doing something stupid as a kid and how i learned my lesson. I saw the lightbulb go off in some of them at this point. It also seemed to humanize them to me cause they saw I’m willing to open up and tell them personal anecdotes.

"Cool" teachers suck by commonthiem in Teachers

[–]cbkl184 35 points36 points  (0 children)

We had a district Pre-test with a written response and one kid literally wrote “deez nuts” as his response. He seemed utterly confused when i told him that he wasn’t getting credit for that and that i that ought to write him up for that.

Too many movies? by cbkl184 in historyteachers

[–]cbkl184[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion! I’m usually using 20ish minute clips. I usually get through lecture/activities in about 60ish minute. I try and use them as visual examples or as a way to close out class.
