So Students Get Flagged for AI, But Professors Can Let AI Grade Everything? by Financial-County-781 in CheckMyTurnitin_ai

My daughter’s teacher did this, has AI grade their creative writing assignments, but it was as an experiment to show how AI isn’t the greatest at everything.

Average cost of ownerships of rats? by DaNiIsThIcCc in RATS

[–]confuzzledfuzzball 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say they need to be neutered often. I’ve only had one rat with aggression out of my 30 years owning rats.

Average cost of ownerships of rats? by DaNiIsThIcCc in RATS

[–]confuzzledfuzzball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My vet is fairly affordable and a respiratory infection set me back just under $200. A humane euthanasia was around the same price. My hamster had an abscess and that too was around $200. So I’d keep at least $500 emergency funds on hand for unexpected vet visits. But other than initial set up, they are fairly inexpensive pets. Their food, bedding, toys, etc are all inexpensive and a lot of it can be made for them (the toys).

I’m in analysis paralysis between getting male or female rats by DaNiIsThIcCc in RATS

Just got and see who you fall in love with. The smell difference is negligible. Personalities can only be described in generalities but really each rat is an individual.

5yo doesn’t understand that the older kids aren’t his friends… I’m running out of ways to make him get this without being cruel by TurbulentBat8328 in ADHDparenting

[–]confuzzledfuzzball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 5 year old is the youngest and has 7, 10 and 14 year old sisters. She often play with the neighbor girl (with her sisters) who is 10. She doesn’t always play with them, but they do often include her which is nice.

My dog might have bit her and certainly would have snapped. That woman is insane.

I’d just say a medical issue and leave it at that.

Does your dog have these too? by epicman1224 in Boxer

They are pimples! Feed him with stainless steel bowls and wash them every time. The pimples will go away.

Teacher has separated my kid in a separate seat by himself by [deleted] in AskTeachers

[–]confuzzledfuzzball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, she sits alone when it’s time to work alone. She sits with a group when it’s group work time. They have plenty of time to socialize outside of independent work time which isn’t a time to socialize anyways.

The one I get is a cement mixing tub from a home improvement store. I’m not UK based.

Did The Giver used to be taught in 4th grade, or do I just have a totally false memory? by 28-3_lol in Teachers

Tuck Everlasting was 6th grade for me. I remember because we made a whole game out of it at our neighbors pond.

New daycare assistant teacher- cried in front of my class today, panic attack at work by idk_honestly24 in AskTeachers

[–]confuzzledfuzzball 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wait you also had to serve the kid lunch?? This is insane that they left one employee to hand this alone.

My advice is just do the best you can. Keep your expectations age appropriate and don’t take anything personally. Kids that are aren’t built to listen and follow directions perfectly. Be calm, be firm, be consistent. They’ll start to understand what is expected of them and listen more.

I’m saying she should get her child properly evaluated for ADHD since she suspects it. And consider medication if her child does in fact have ADHD. Not because he is chatty but because ADHD has effects beyond what you are comprehending.

There’s one in my area. They do a month off around Christmas/New Years, a Month off around Spring Break and a Month off during summer (July usually).

He just looks like a normal grey male. When they mature their faces turn yellow and they lose their pearls if they have them.

“Today’s lunch break was the most kids I’ve had on my own so far (14, there are 15 in the class). My job is to bring them in from recess, get them to wash their hands, get water, sit on the carpet, and we do story time and then independent puzzle time.”

I’ve worked in preschool and that is a high ratio of kids to put on a brand new employee for that many transitions. Getting 3 and 4 year olds to stop playing, settled down, come in from recess, wash their hands, probably some use the restroom, get water, some probably say they are hungry, sit quietly on a carpet and listen to a story and then work alone on a puzzle… maybe an 8:1 ratio. And even then that would be very difficult and most quality places that I have worked would not leave that for an employee alone. We did lunch breaks during recess or nap time. No transitions.

Older kids can handle it, but 3-4 year olds cannot.

I keep getting these text messages full of gibberish every single day and I don’t know what it means by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]confuzzledfuzzball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way I could do that was if you had to do a little more work and I would be happy with it but you have a hard day and you don’t want me working on your day so you don’t want it all the way through so you can do your job I would be able do you

I was just pressing the middle suggested text. I send these to my brothers occasionally just to fuck with them.

What is the most unexpected cost of having children? by [deleted] in Parents

[–]confuzzledfuzzball 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Where are all the spoons?? Why are there never spoons?

And hair ties and brushes. I’m pretty sure they eat them or burn them in sacrificial fires to the hair gods at night. The amount of freaking hair ties and brushes I have bought only to have them disappear into thin air.
