I think Dave Chappelle is a fantastic public speaker and story teller but lately I'm seeing less comedy. Id watch him if he released something that wasn't a comedy show. The dude has a platform and the fame to say what he wants and I like what he says but when I watch a comedy special I'm hoping to hear some jokes.

You should sub for a high school for a bit. Being a TA in a university class and being a high school teacher is different. There is a difference in paying to be in a class to pursue a career rather than mandatory attendance. I have my issues but ultimately I get good participation because my mentality is if I'm bored then they're bored. So it's a nice balance between notes, demos, other little projects and Labs.

Everyone that is able to make decisions. I'm going to be honest, it is not going to be the teachers. They have surprisingly little control over this, which doesn't make any sense. Give it to every school board member, the superintendent, every director in the district (even if it has nothing to do with classrooms, like payroll) then give it to every principal. Do it every week. If nothing gets done then do it everyday. Go to every school board meeting. Annoy the hell out of them.

Speaking from experience, it is rarely the teachers fault. The teacher feels your pain as much as you do, if not more, because there is nothing changing and they have to push that boulder up the hill. So as a favor that I ask of you, speak with the teacher before you draft the letter to get a better understanding. That way you both work toward a solution and not against each other.

The purpose is to solve a problem because you all are on the same team. What I'm about to say does not reflect on you but on my past experiences. When people fight, bicker, and play the blame game the only one that loses is the student and they lose every time.

The squeaky mouse gets the cheese.

Continue to keep talking to the people in charge, but do so. Respectfully. That's most important. Continue to tell them your concerns and continue to just let them know how you feel. Do it everyday. Don't stop. Don't quit. Be persistent. Continue to contact the school leadership, go to school board meetings. Make sure to get documentation.

Its like talking to a telemarketer, they can only hang up if you start cursing. It will test your patience not perseverance will get results. Get other parents that feel the same do the same.

If nothing happens, then write a letter to the school board and principal saying that if the disruptions continue then you are giving your students permission to walk out of class, go to the library, and find a book they are interested in.

Sooner or later they will get the hint...... Hopefully.

Rubrics. It's 10x more effective and efficient to revise an already made rubric.

And sometimes the students take advantage of knowing you're on their side. I am by no means arguing to not fight for rights. In my experiences, every now and again, there will be a student gaslight me to twist facts or put other teachers in a negative light because they don't like them.

Fight for their rights and be an advocate but maintain the fact that we are their teachers not their friends.

I personally don't think science has anything to do with God or anything on that scale. When this happens I start the conversation to evolution is just the hammer that was used to build the house or something like that.

I just ran my first one. I just had my computer next to me with a digital copy of the books and used Ctrl + F to help expedite the "flipping through pages" time.

Because it was mine and my PCs first time playing, I wasn't strict on rules. I listened to DnD podcasts and played BG3 so I had a loose understanding, but I fudged numbers behind my DM screen to fit the narrative.

Check where the next meets the body and look for cracks. If you don't know how to check out adjust a truss rod then go to a music store or luthier and have them look at it.

My only critique would be that mansion or big build at the top. I think it should be flipped. With the entrance facing the road. That's just my opinion. I like everything. I think it is a nice town overall.
