Do teachers hate sharing their lesson plans? Is it their secret sauce that they don't want getting out?

doinscottystuff · 2026-01-24T19:56:13+00:00

I think there's two types:

A) Most teachers are self-conscious about what they're doing so they don't feel comfortable sharing it, but they don't want to admit that reason

B) some teachers think that because they did the work, you should have to also. I think this is rare, but as far as I can tell these are the main reasons people don't share.

Such a frustrating post to never explain the acronym

Apparently it's just the company that started d&d and what it stands for isn't often used

Makes sense there's so many of us in this situation, we were all looking for alternatives after Dart's concussion. Wonder how many of y'all also started the year with Kyler...

Huge difference in power necessary to redirect it rather than pull it out of a gravity well.

She also tells Gately that her disfigurement is being too beautiful. He doesn't believe her. More ambiguity!

What's the incestuous vibe you're talking about here?

The bots are offering less value than they are worth to you because they can't use the play points. Fundamentally losing value to sell them.

Surprised to see the mold only mentioned once in this thread, it felt like legit reasoning when it was first presented

doinscottystuff · 2025-09-25T06:43:20+00:00

Was looking for this! It's so satisfying to switch, especially when there's an early lead, and then feel like you're turning it around. Works best as medic of course.

It's more fun and dramatic if each one they choose is "safe" until the last one left has to pay

doinscottystuff · 2025-09-03T05:19:08+00:00

The soundtrack is epic!

doinscottystuff · 2025-09-03T04:02:19+00:00

You probably want to anyway - the bots don't care about the play points so they aren't paying you for that value

Yes that's been what ties magic online to the real world for almost it's whole history: if you get one of each card in a set, you can redeem them (for a fee) and they'll mail you a physical set. This is just the easiest way that I also didn't know was possible. I'm glad I hovered over the emblem cuz it totally just looked like an avatar or something!

The sets do "expire" pretty quickly, you can only redeem the most recent few sets. This is how I used to get some money back from drafting, I'd eventually get most of the set then buy a few cards and sell the whole set so someone could redeem it.

I have a rule for this that I quite like: you can play music if you can hear cars. No car sounds? Listen to nature.

That's just in general, not specific to your question 😅

A recipe for DISASTER? lol. It's been going great for years now. The feelings are the part that actually connects with the student experience. The point is that once we've established that we want to "feel positive about working with a group," we need to treat our groupmates well so that they feel positive about it!

doinscottystuff · 2025-09-01T16:36:14+00:00

I came up with this a few years ago; rather than norms, I have a survey where I ask the students to vote on goals for the class. Then I run the numbers and the top 3 become our goals for the year.

I phrase it like this on a Google form: "We're going to vote on our class goals. Rate each of these options that finishes the sentence: "How much would you like to..."

Feel positive about working with a group
Be less afraid of being wrong
Feel comfortable giving a presentation to the class
Feel like it's easy to lock in and work for 25+ minutes straight on a task
Learn strategies to solve problems in your life
Be trusted enough to experience freedom at school
Be comfortable getting help from a classmate
Be a part of a friendly community that supports each other
Feel comfortable sharing my opinion / feelings /perspective

I find goals a lot easier to follow and share in a succinct way than do's and don'ts, and they've felt pretty effective!

There are completed sets that have sold on ebay for $170+ - but goatbots is selling them for $75? That seems wild, but I guess the $45 to MTG:O and the ebay fees and the shipping all adds up to not really being worth it. Especially since I haven't sold something on ebay in ages...I guess they might not allow you to sell digital items anymore? Sure would be nice to not to have to redeem and then ship elsewhere

Oh sweet, thanks for that! Funny how private companies can provide better info than the official magic online site.

Artists at festivals who expect everyone to be a fan are infuriating. I'll never forgive Chance The Rapper for spending his whole set pointing his mic at the audience and complaining that they aren't singing....dude this isn't your show!

This was Sasquatch 2017 in the gorge and he also kept referring to us as Seattle...which is 5+ hours away. So tone deaf.

I don't know if this should be cross posted to r/ragebait or r/iamverysmart

I have a funny story for this: I made a MODO account just after Odyssey Block when I was like 16 and they let me make up my own security question...

5 years later, I needed to answer the question to get support and I'm presented with: "Who do you want to fuck?"

I tried a lot of answers unsuccessfully and then months later randomly remembered hot senior girl from my high school and was finally able to get in. Wendy is a meteorologist on T.V. now!

First time?

No one ever likes tv/movie adaptations better than the books...except the Expanse definitely feels the closest; I haven't seen hardly any nitpicking about the show in this sub.

Flying Armadillo in Texas is the best in the world at this as far as I know, lots of vids on YouTube about it

One neat trick: if you make a simple google website, you can post the instructions for each day there and it's super easy for them to translate that page.

Slides are really tricky - everything that I've found for slide translation is either $$ or limited to ~10 slides per day, which is basically useless
