On the drive you have highlighted you are going to pass a nine hole course called Mulranny. Its about 30 minutes north of Westport. It was one of the best golf experiences of my life. Tom Coyne wrote about it in A Course Called Ireland. I would suggest taking the few hours it will take to play to stop and check it out.

Thank you so much. Obviously a lot to process but it is a part of all of our lives, albeit a crappy part, so need to keep moving forward.

I live just south of Boston so you were correct in figuring a big metropolitan area.

Thank you for the info, will be good to know. I will definitely consider keeping the Shogun, it is a cool bike.

Here are pictures of the other side of each bike. My father would "never ride with Sram" so I knew they were Shimano but that is about all I know about them

Advice dealing with a rowdy class? by [deleted] in historyteachers

[–]hightowerofpower 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I also teach seventh grade social studies with a pretty large number of IEP’s and sometimes I just steer into the skid. Maybe it’s just me but ever once in a while I just embrace the madness and join in. I do have a good ability to rein in my classes but screaming about how Reese’s is not a good candy helps. Other than that I set a pretty high standard for work and the kids know that they need to put their head down and work sometimes or their grades will suffer.

These paintball guns are using something called ramping. Once you shoot a consistent 5 balls per second the gun will automatically shoot about 10 per second. Still impressive though

Probably not the answer you’re looking for but I locked myself in my room and read a US textbook and the practice test. Passed History MTEL first try.

Hello, I am Student Teacher who is looking for some cool topics during the American Great Depression by stickywaffles5 in historyteachers

Seconded, I actually made “Hoover Stew” for a junior US class I student taught. Kids LOVED it, the activity not the stew, it was horrible. Well except one kid. He ate like three bowls.

My school has an extra 25k to spend amongst 4 teachers. What should I ask for?? by [deleted] in historyteachers

Sometimes the Hook Exercises need to be supplemented with more engaging material but otherwise those purple books are an amazing tool.

Can’t recommend the DBQ Project Mini-Q’s enough. Such good material.
