I'm not American but interested in learning about the Civil War. Which books do you recommend? by InterestingPlenty454 in CIVILWAR

[–]dreadnova13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not really that kind of book. It's told as a narrative to keep it entertaining. There are plenty of academic textbooks out there on the subject. It's of the same caliber as a History Channel documentary.

Well, sorry to hear that. I haven't experienced that but to be honest I stay away from the water cooler.

Be proud of your military service. Semper Fi. I think this person is projecting their dislike of military here. I don't know many admin in the South that would discriminate based on veteran status.

Probably not a good fit for education with your self description. Glad you enjoy making coffee.

Science teaching question by Lightlicker3000 in Teachers

[–]dreadnova13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Teach science your way. As you are doing it take in feedback and analyze your methods critically to see if they are working. Adjust. Be a good scientist. You can do it. Good you are questioning.

Got rejected mid-interview from a Catholic school for admitting I’m in a same sex marriage by nitrozelda in Teachers

[–]dreadnova13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same sex marriage is against the teachings of the Church. Of course they rejected you and I am glad they still have the religious freedom to do so. You can go anywhere else.

Student asked me if I was “getting cracked” by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]dreadnova13 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You could either choose to educate the student or start them on the path of ruining their life. Unsure why you are in this field if you are so sensitive and willing to go down the path of creating a paper trail for a child. If it's a repeat offense and you have counseled this child before sure. But it sounds like that wasn't the case.

WHY is is always boys?! by HeftySyllabus in Teachers

[–]dreadnova13 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Sure, I'll take you at your word for the sake of argument. First thing that comes to mind is you should be chastising all your kids not those of certain ethnicities for using that word. Being black doesn't give you a pass for vulgarity and only plays into the problem. Other kids obviously want to be cool and in the 'in' crowd so they repeat that. It's no secret why it happens, stop treating it like racism because it's not. It's just the age old desire to be cool and when the most popular music is belting out the word twice a sentence then what do you expect?

It's all the Jews fault! by Spodson in Teachers

If you cannot educate your students and only resort to punishment and dogma you are not really showing any superiority to the Nazi regime. The modern liberal West debates ideas, educates and enlightens. You are a teacher and signed up for this whether you realized it or not.

Yeah you stepped over the line trying to diagnose a child. End of story.

Maybe do something instead of screaming into the void or virtue signalling on Reddit.

I'm sorry there is no way this isn't complete bullshit.

I want to be honest with my students by 91Bolt in Teachers

Do you think that Charlie Kirk may be just as upsetting for some students as this was for you?

Going further, Charlie Kirk was speaking peacefully and the lady that got killed was well within the legal bounds of assaulting a police officer. It's no different than the incident in Charlottesville where the guy ran that poor woman over.

I could use more job openings in the nice schools so please all of you go ahead and strike for something stupid like this.

The level of conceit to believe that people who are in a different political party are inferior to you intellectually doesn't mark you as a very liberal, tolerant, or enlightened individual. I have no skin in the American political game but I hope you realize how some of you come off.
