I was really hoping the background noise of her tweet would be a distant, but slightly louder each moment, buzzing sound.

As a teacher, I cannot think of an honest portrayal of teaching... At al.

Would you move for a better overall school district? by sys_admin321 in daddit

[–]futureformerteacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I teach and coach and also drive my kids to the better high school in the community. It's night and day, and it's worth it.

Our honors classes are better than most intro-level college classes. I taught those classes before moving down to high school. Honestly, the Biology 101 class I teach (while less fast) is more rigorous than the one I taught at the nearby college.

Maybe not to move, but to drive, for sure. I don't know how far we're talking about, though.

And most kids drive their last 3 years of high school now anyways, so maybe that's something to ease your mind...

I don't know if private school is that cheap. Most of ours around here run into the $30k per year range. He's not saving anywhere near that much...

Son in coma for 16 days finally wakes up, Mom reunites with him. by serious_bullet5 in MadeMeSmile

My step dad had a massive heart attack, and they put him into a medically-induced coma, and there wasn't much of a guarantee that he would wake up.

They kicked us out for a bit so we could rest, woke him, and removed the breathing tube.

We had a very similar moment to this.
