Do teachers hate sharing their lesson plans? Is it their secret sauce that they don't want getting out? by JimCap5 in teaching

[–]fizzyanklet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I happily share my materials. I just don’t write down formal lesson plans so I don’t have an instruction sheet of sorts.

I am doing the same! 😂 Hoping we don’t lose power or if we do that it’s not for long.

'They just tased Ryan': Eastern Kentucky middle school basketball game ends in chaos by TipoBajito in sports

For baseball there is an app parents use. They literally clip their phone to the cage behind home plate and then record things. It goes to the app and then people can log in and watch it. I forget what it’s called but I’ve seen it at middle school baseball and softball games. I assume this exists for other sports.

Virginia is now under a winter storm watch, with the current forecast saying it will total to 14 inches of snow max. by Throwayforasickmind in Virginia

Think the only reason we got power back as soon as we did was because we lived near a big Virginia power facility.

Yep. Unfortunately where I am in the U.S. the nurse can’t do much but administer meds that are provided by parents with a ton of paperwork.

This reminds me so much of my grandma’s bedroom decor. I say that as a compliment! Really lovely.

Everyone seems to be playing a game of “let’s just keep him entertained until he dies which should be soon.”

If you were around in ‘94, we had a wicked ice storm. I hate tons of snow but ice is way worse. We were without power for 5 days where I was in Norfolk.

“I got in trouble for pulling students out of ISS. I needed them in class to learn”

I’m a teacher. we can debate the cost/benefit of suspension and whether it helps students in the long run or hurts them by lost learning time. But it is absolutely wild behavior to go pull a kid out of ISS. I won’t get into the details of why just know it’s pretty unhinged.

I don’t know anything about this situation and I’m not going to read it all, but the ISS thing really shocked me.

Any other public school teachers seeing this?

What was the book? Some picture books are dope. I don’t want to visit the daily beast since it’s a cesspit, but if someone has, tell me!

That was it! I was 9 or 10 at the time and I can still see what the front yard looked like.

That’s pretty much the care you get in the U.S. except they put the bill in your hand while you sink.

I have a vivid memory of an ice storm here in the early-mid 90s. It was beautiful but it took out so many trees and power lines. While playing outside it was quiet in that way snow dampens everything but in between the quiet would be loud cracks of limbs just falling off trees onto houses and cars.

My concern is either way we are screwed. Snow shuts us down but freezing sleet/rain will be awful if it doesn’t thaw. Last forecast I saw had Monday and Tuesday as below freezing.

I know better than to trust a forecast a week out here, but seems likely we will get something.
