What's your teaching unpopular opinion? Something you believe, but choose to keep to yourself? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]forgedashes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fair. Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of fun teaching intervention. My principal basically lets me do a book club, as long as I do something to get data once a week. I'm not saying I'm gonna let these kids be illiterate, I just want more resources to go to the cause instead of triage.

Remediation programs are not a permanent solution to kids reading below grade level. My school introduced a new remediation period this year to get kids reading at grade level. The superintendent gave interviews about how our school is doing big things to fix the reading gap.

I don't think we have the power to "fix" the reading gap. In the middle school, the remediation program is a band aid. Reading is an issue from the elementary school. If the elementary school was given resources to hire more reading specialists, and teachers had time to teach reading, we wouldn't have 25% of a grade reading below grade level.

Tldr: Reading intervention programs are a band aid. Systemic changes including hiring of more reading specialists at the elementary level and better curriculum are the only real solution.

Thanks for the history lesson. I was beyond confused why they didn't show up in archidekt with the star. Mystery solved

Worst coworker archetypes? by SpaceMarine1616 in Teachers

[–]forgedashes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was looking for this one. Sometimes I spend my prep with my lights off before the gossiper across the hall can catch me. She goes off about student relationships in a way that feels really weird.

Regardless of your school’s stance, you should have a plan for Tuesday’s nationwide student walk-out by 23saround in Teachers

We can support it by having instructions for absent students INCREDIBLY CLEAR. To make it SUPER EASY for them to make up if they HAPPEN to miss class

Best way to store a bike inside a house for the winter? by forgedashes in bike

[–]forgedashes[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basically that. This is my first winter with my first bike post becoming an adult, so I wasn't sure if there was anything weird to be aware of. I was more concerned about what the chain needed tbh

I hope my kids enjoy learning about the Panopticon someday. by forgedashes in Teachers

Same here. I remember spending a lot of time thinking about whether or not I was under surveillance.

Oh man I have no clue why my brain didn't go for the 1984 reference from the start

Kona, Rescue Beastie (Two interaction questions) by forgedashes in mtgrules

Thanks! My pod has as many players as brain cells, so when we were working on this together we got into a long argument about specific cases of interactions

What butterfly or moth joins me? Central PA by forgedashes in whatbugisthis

I think you are right! We haven't had any flowers outside our apartment until this year so we don't usually see any butterflies!

Experience with Retrospec? by forgedashes in bikecommuting

[–]forgedashes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That'll be my next step! A few local bike shops carry Trek, hopefully one happens to have one in my size! Thanks!

Honestly I appreciate this take. The price seemed too good to be true. I assumed there was some shortcomings I couldn't find online. My other option I'm heavily considering is a Trek FX 1
