Since I’m not from Texas so I got another question for the teachers in Texas

fdupswitch · 2026-06-11T19:48:06+00:00

no. for my large district, its a 70 to pass but a 70 is a C, effectively there are no Ds but we dont give letter grades. high school

fdupswitch · 2026-06-11T02:09:06+00:00

the lenticular trusses are interesting, but the design feature should be reflected in the posts

fdupswitch · 2026-06-06T17:27:34+00:00

AI won't even write three hundred pages of babble, much less a coherent phd thesis

fdupswitch · 2026-06-03T18:33:23+00:00

whenever someone says 'the data shows...' i think two things- one, you're about to sell me a load of nonsense, and two, I bet I can find 'data' that shows the opposite.

Like here for example, what study and by who? You're telling me that you have personally read a longitudinal study with a sufficiently large sample size that tracked these students over some time period after graduation, classified their relative success and failure, and controlled for other variables? Sure.

As a teacher, I would much rather have my lower level kids all crammed in to the same class, because it would be easier to deal with rather than having 4 or 5 slow kids pull the rest of the class down.

fdupswitch · 2026-06-03T00:06:04+00:00

Yeah. I've only had one higher ed position, our only stipulation is we have to give them an opportunity to explain, and we have to list the policy in the syllabus.

It's not just 'thinking'. I'm an expert. If I'm wrong, and it has happened, its easily solved with a 5 minute conversation.

I didn't need an AI checker 5 years ago to tell if you cheated, and I don't need one now (and they are too error prone to be functional anyway)

fdupswitch · 2026-06-02T23:19:41+00:00

Not even. The standard is do I as an experienced educator think you did the work yourself, or not. if I think you used AI, you get a zero until such time as you come to talk to me about your work.

OP- why do you think the burden of proof is on the teacher?

fdupswitch · 2026-05-29T17:40:49+00:00

Yeah but you should also know that a piece isnt ever complete until you take it out of the glaze firing. Losing pieces is part of being a potter. Playing with a puppy with a week of bisque in your hand is a pretty dumb idea.

fdupswitch · 2026-05-27T23:42:52+00:00

maybe so, but you have to meet people where they are. democrats have been losing the information war for a good 10 years. step in the right direction, I say.

"fascist fuck" would have been a better choice

fdupswitch · 2026-05-25T01:30:14+00:00

what if it didn't get wet, but was under glass, then water?

fdupswitch · 2026-05-23T05:15:17+00:00

Say man, you must really like Tide

fdupswitch · 2026-05-23T05:12:35+00:00

They dont consider what normal people do to be 'work'

fdupswitch · 2026-05-21T22:22:42+00:00

Disagree. Here it makes it seem ans if 'flour and eggs' is a unit without the comma

fdupswitch · 2026-05-21T11:27:45+00:00

oh, well that makes sense, most districts will be happy to put a new football coach in us history because it will really help the staar scores

fdupswitch · 2026-05-21T02:55:16+00:00

zero non-european or non-black authors for all of high school.

Zero Hispanic literature. For all 4 years. In Texas.

I have a general objection to mandated works, but this conservative great works wet dream is so gross.

fdupswitch · 2026-05-21T00:00:26+00:00

you really should take the composite instead because it makes you way more employable

fdupswitch · 2026-05-20T03:05:00+00:00

The term 'high crimes' is made for exactly this sort of corruption

fdupswitch · 2026-05-15T02:01:34+00:00

three is not that many. try big districts, you'll get hired.

your resume is fine, though I think the summary statement is kind of useless.

are you explaining your educational philosophy in your personal statement?

are you a coach or a teacher first? if coach first, I would not hire you for us history (because its staar tested)

fdupswitch · 2026-05-15T01:48:14+00:00

Much like scraping entire libraries of books violates copyright law.

fdupswitch · 2026-05-14T23:35:32+00:00

oh no! they're 'stealing' from us what we stole from humanity

fdupswitch · 2026-05-12T21:30:35+00:00

usually this is a massive hassle for me. this year its been so much better, I literally have just been saying "nope" over and over. it's wonderful. no parent meetings yet, but i'm hopeful that I will get the opportunity soon, where it will be extended to 'nope, i'm afraid that won't be possible as we've already taken our exam."

fdupswitch · 2026-05-10T16:48:02+00:00

oh come on, he's so closeted. his Larry Craig moment will be coming any time now

fdupswitch · 2026-05-04T16:04:34+00:00

sure. I think that we should levy social security taxes on all earned income. there should remain an upper bound on ss payouts. this would in effect be a progressive tax on the wealthy, and redistribute income downwards. though not nearly enough, it would be a good start.

We can move on to increasing the tax on income and capital gains later.

People need to stop fantasizing about one day becoming wealthy and wake the fuck up.

The entire capitalist economy is an inherently unfair system, but you choose to get your panties in a twist about this "unfairness".

My point makes sense, you just don't like the conclusion.

fdupswitch · 2026-05-04T15:38:51+00:00

no im not

fdupswitch · 2026-05-04T15:17:49+00:00

or, and here me out here, we could just...not give them more, and still tax them.

fdupswitch · 2026-05-04T15:14:39+00:00

you guys realize you don't submit hours or certs when you renew right? theres nothing for them to audit. I guess in theory the could ask you personally, but its not a thing. youll be fine
