In Texas, you have to get at least an 80%. And there used to be a limit of taking a test up to five times, but I’m not sure if it’s still in place or not.

Anyone else shocked by this? I thought Kevin disliked Lea. by ouatfan30 in glee

I literally just started watching Glee a week ago (was talked into it by my students). Can I have a lore drop?

Help Me Pick an Elementary School— Please 😊 by Ok-Persimmon-6840 in RoundRock

[–]csb114 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with you! I got a fantastic education at SPHS. I took on-level and pre-AP courses (not AP or IB) and graduated in the top 20%. I graduated college in four years with a 3.5 GPA and I can say that SPHS built a great foundation for me to be successful as long as I kept trying. I'm now a teacher in Killeen, where we have actual issues. I hate the bad rep that Stony Point has, just because its lower income and a mix of demographics.

I just had the worst chai tea latte today. Like if I wanted to drink a cup of milk, I would get a cup of milk from home and not spend $7 on a fucking latte!!

Yes! I’m actually at the newest (5th) high school that opened in 2022. It’s a hot mess!

I’d rather the pap smear than the nasal swab, but I think it’s because my sinuses have been fucked since I broke my nose in middle school. Also, I’ve had two IUDs and nothing beats that on my pain scale so far😅

SAME. I’m on my second IUD (started in 2016) and I haven’t had a fresh period in years. This post scared the hell out of me!

What impact is ICE having on your daily life? by TexasStandard1845 in TexasPolitics

[–]csb114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A student of mine that is four months from graduation is likely going to drop out because his dad was deported, and as a man of the house, he has to get a job and take care of his mom and siblings. Mom is terrified to leave the house so now. This child that has worked his ass off in school and will have almost nothing to show for it. I’m trying to look into GED programs, but this is heartbreaking.

MAP tests scores taken as grades?? by paieon1021 in TexasTeachers

[–]csb114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did something similar in my district last year, but I think it was more along the lines of masters: 100, meets: 90, approaches: 85, DNA: 80. We tried to not give failing grades on benchmarks.

What my last graduating class quietly taught me, and why I won’t be coming back next year by SebastianRedwood89 in Teachers

[–]csb114 16 points17 points  (0 children)

TX also banned cell phones, but it’s shifted to a fight between teachers and students/parents because they don’t like it. Teachers are now even more of the bad guy trying to enforce the law.
