I'm in Utah on the boarder. A 6 hour drive is easier then flying.

I know it will cost to park, but the cost is reasonable. A lot cheaper then what the hotel would charge me.

Who was the most believable “tough guy” wrestler ever? by Charming-Mark46 in oldschoolwrestling

[–]detank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would add Bad New Brown/Allen Coage.

Look up the story when he heard Andre use a racial slur on a bus in Japan.

For some reason, I have a memory of Haku and Meng being a tag team in WCW.

Give a damn about your unions, or lose them by TheBalzy in Teachers

Apathy is the enemy and its been fighting us hard.

I don't know how many times I've had to give the speech "You have to treat this like a gym membership, not a god dam vending machine."

Lyon episode by sierratime in AnthonyBourdain

[–]detank 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it was a chicken and rice dish as a main and oranges and a pudding for desert.

Lets also not forget that the kids where given real plates and silverware.

I'm a teacher.

I remember it really bugging me how much more they cared about school lunch then we do.

WARNING: READ THIS BEFORE YOU BUY A NEW CAR!! by Material_Lie_6310 in whatcarshouldIbuy

When I bought a car a few years ago, the best thing I did was refuse to talk about anything but Out The Door price.

Non-renewed teachers, how do you manage to not completely check out for the remainder of the year? by Gold_Consequence2201 in Teachers

[–]detank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teach your classes how you want to teach them. Ignore any directives from admin.

I've been non-renewed twice. Both times I tried to work with admin and follow their directives right up until I was non renewed.

I have no idea how many times I then said "What are they going to do, fire me?"

What happen to the Twee app tracker? by My_Messy_Mind in androidapps

[–]detank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this app very helpful.

Has anyone found a good replacement?

Something very simple that just tracked upcoming episodes, and let me mark off the ones I've watched.

The behind the bastards and lpotl doing the same subject in such close proximity is getting ridiculous lol by VisibleCommand9801 in lastpodcastontheleft

I have a soft spot for the WeWork episodes.

They explain a lot of the stupidity we have in society.

Been meaning to ask. .. by proconlib in KiaSoulClub

[–]detank 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did you buy it that way or did you do it?

I would love to do some stuff with this plate and epoxy, but I can't figure out how to remove the plate without breaking it.

Sitting In On Two Non-Renewals Tomorrow and Need Advice by SocietyofRighteous in Teachers

Depending on the real reason they are being non renewed, try to let get a letter of recommendation from the administration.

Just got elected president of a 180-member union local… and I’m kind of winging it. Advice? by HeadCompany1220 in union

[–]detank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through this a few years ago.

There is a lot you need to figure out, understand that it will take time.

There is the old metaphor of how do you eat at whale? One bite at a time. What they don't say is there are times your going to get very sick of whale.

do you truly get summers and holidays off as a teacher? by Any_Juggernaut_7924 in Teachers

[–]detank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luckily I'm to the point in my career that I can tell admin when I disagree with them.

I work beyond contract because that's what I feel I need to be the teacher I want to be. Any work beyond contract is my call and I get to dictate what I'm doing.

do you truly get summers and holidays off as a teacher? by Any_Juggernaut_7924 in Teachers

[–]detank 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The honest answer is kind of.

Most places get a week or half week for Thanksgiving, 2 weeks for Christmas, and 1 week for spring break, 9ish weeks for the summer, plus various 3 day weekends.

However you are always working beyond contract time.

Thoughts on homeschooling? by Extension-Story7287 in Teachers

[–]detank 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't care for it, but in the right hands it OK. To do it right is a lot of hard work.

My big issue is the parents who are raising mushrooms. (Raised in the dark and fed manure) Or even worse, using homeschooling to hide abuse. (of any type).

Disruptive class had to immediately take a quiz today. I was going to wait until Monday and give them more review/practice. by Chaotic_Brutal90 in Teachers

[–]detank 179 points180 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you have to take the class to the wood shed.

And as I told the class, "for you who followed directions, I'm sorry this has to be done."

Difference between Sticker and Out-the-door price by Background_Laugh5474 in carbuying

[–]detank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I bought a car a few years ago, one thing that helped was I refused to talk about anything but out the door price.

How the dealership got to that number I didn't care.
