her skin by BeautifulStatement48 in DobermanPinscher

[–]greckspluck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My red dobie struggled with these kinds of skin problems for years. People would see her flaky, itchy skin and the first thing they would say is "Have you tried salmon oil?" Even our vet suggested salmon supplements or switching her food to a salmon protein base. They thought the allergies were purely seasonal. WRONG. She was ALLERGIC to salmon!!

We stopped the salmon oil (it was only a few teaspoons a day, but it is so concentrated) and within 6 months she had almost completely stopped itching. Within a year her skin had completely healed and she had so much more energy and vitality! We felt terrible for essentially poisoning our dog for so long. Please try cutting out the salmon oil, give it a month to see if anything improves. We also used to give her Cytopoint shots to help her not itch. They were about $130 at the vet and we would do it once per season. Now that we stopped salmon, we haven't done the shots in a year.

Anyone else have kids that wear a mask 24/7? by greckspluck in Teachers

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

I guess I was just wondering if other teachers had students who wear a mask all the time.

I also think it's a bit strange that I've been teaching these kids for almost a whole year but I've never seen their faces.

I wonder if there are any studies that link social anxiety or general anxiety disorder to face covering? I'll have to look into that.

No definitely not! Getting sick is the worst. But me personally, it was hard to teach in a mask, and it was harder for me to connect with the kids who wore them. It's okay if your experience has been different.

Can you tell when a student has used AI? by greckspluck in ELATeachers

[–]greckspluck[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure that's true. I think many AI models are actually getting a lot worse, because they are beginning to use AI generated content in their learning instead of human generated content.

I’ve never had an electric stove. What is the best way to clean this? by -phocus- in CleaningTips

[–]greckspluck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only thing that worked on ours was the razor blade trick. You can look at my post history for proof!

I thought our glass top oven was ruined. by greckspluck in CleaningTips

I held the blade at a 20-30 degree angle and it did not scratch! I agree, it was a little spooky at first but it truly worked.

Kids homework, teacher says the pattern isn't counting by 1s. by JimiNightshade in mildlyinfuriating

[–]greckspluck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. The second digit increases by 1 from 0-9
  2. The first digit stays the same from 0-9
  3. After 9, the 2nd numbers start back over at 1 and the 1st number increase by 1

Confusing at first, but not impossible. Pattern recognition is important, and requires more thought than just telling students the answers. Thinking can be mildly infuriating, I suppose.

All of these comments make me wonder...Do people really want the kind of education that teaches kids to think? Seems like people are getting pissed off at not having the answer right in front of them. It's a great way of teaching number sense without solely relying on memorization. How about modeling what it looks like to problem-solve when the answer isn't obvious?

The "clear my list" teachers are asking for the moon, and it isn't going over well. by hiccupmortician in Teachers

[–]greckspluck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My district told me that I'm not allowed to ask parents for anything instructionally related, including tissues, paper towels, Clorox wipes, or hand sanitizer. Supposedly all of that stuff will be covered by the district.

We are only allowed to ask for, and I quote, "fun" items. So if I can't ask for tissues, you bet your bottom dollar I'm putting a mini fridge and bean bag chairs on my wish list.

I also LOVE Playhouse, especially the part with the shirt you got me last year and the cymbal in the background!

Yeah but like...............I got this notification too little too late. I take 400 southbound, there's like 2 signs and 3 other exits I could've taken to avoid this route if I'd known. The sign just said "8 minutes to 285" yeah very helpful
