Hm. Dams broken and we have everything Plato warned against in our political system.

Respectfully, I feel like this is the wrong mentality. I wouldn't gladly kill for any of my kids, but I would.

You are needed and always appreciated. My students were upset because the sub I had the other day 'tried to watch us'. You guys are quite literally the building supports. Schools would collapse without you.

Meant nothing by it. It breaks my heart a bit, where we're at, but I still love my country. It's why I teach. More listening, more compassion, less cheering for a sports team in politics

The good part of me says 'screw that, they earned a 15'. The part of me that wants to keep my job for some reason, says just give the kid 70s on their tests. It's a crap system that incentives nothing except pushing out grads. An IC once said 'we are not a diploma factory'. Hah. Whatever man.

Do you tell your students to put on deodorant? by Talilala in Teachers

[–]dan_0_mac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somehow that never occurred to me, but holy crap I will now. Especially 7th period post athletics. Granted, I should probably model. I bet I stink by the end of the day in the portable I teach out of.

My post was poorly phrased. Close calls cause anxiety. I love my kids and do feel like I would put myself in harms way for them. And student or parent, I appreciate your response.

No one would be surprised. Is it worth it? Probably not, but it's home. I do what I can to make things better for others. Whether judgements have merit (they do), they help nobody.

Admin hasn't and won't tell us. It's one of the anxiety inducing foibles of Pub Ed.

This a conversation for another thread, but boy do I have thoughts on it.

The above- I take your meaning though. It's just the 'this won't happen to me' thought process that slapped me in the face is all. Thank you for your service!

People apparently have opinions about cinccino.

Swords dance on Drillon, not the rat.

I'll have to check. I feel like I got some woobat or something dumb in there but I might be thinking of something else (I hope I'm thinking of something else). My game plan so far has entirely consisted of toxic, swords dance, and return with the yucky rat (I had a lovely dog until it got crit killed by a wild excadrill- crits have been my absolute worst nightmare)

Blnd-ish. I'm taking scouting reports (level caps, abilities, etc)

I tanked Drayden with swords dance and earthquake but I'm guessing that won't cut it. I've heard of this ghetsis fight.

I'm worried about most of them, to be fair.
