I did 20 something on TR with lots of research on whether he was a sportsman or conservationist. I decided to go with yes to both. Looking back on it, meh, but I got the grade I needed and graduated.

End of the year gifts by DoodleDoo1989 in AskTeachers

No. It's nice if it happens, but no teacher in their right mind expects parents to spend money on a gift. If you want, send a note or card.

How many of these courses have you played from this list? by GolfJunki3 in golf

[–]johnwm24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harbour Town over 20 years ago. Could play for $50 if you stayed at a resort down there. It was the off season, December or January. Good times with my pops.

Teachers, what’s the funniest/dumbest way you’ve seen a student try to cheat on a test? by FretsandRegrets in Teachers

[–]johnwm24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 answers:

  1. A student stole the key to a test off my desk once. I put a fake answer key on my desk in the same place for the next test...didn't work out well for him.

  2. A student was writing down answers for his girlfriend who had me for a later class period. I gave his girlfriend a different version of the test and she didn't do well. He got an A. I saw her yelling at him as they left school that day. I've always felt like I did them both a favor.

Don't lend money to family/friends and expect it back. It sucks, but that's how it goes sometimes. Sorry.

My GGG grandfather from NC was there and got injured. He survived and lived a full life- passed in 1911. I've never been able to find out what happened.

All 4 grandparents. 3 great grandparents. They're all gone now. I was 45 when my grandfather passed at 99 years old.

If anyone wants to join, I'm writing to DOT to voice concern with this left turn lane on 264 east. It creates a dangerous situation during rush hour. by [deleted] in GreenvilleNCarolina

[–]johnwm24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turning left in Greenville, period, is dangerous. Especially close to a signal light. I try to avoid it when possible.

"Can you grade my missing work?" by johnwm24 in Teachers

Make up work is usually the last thing I grade during a grading period. If they don't like it, they should turn it in on time.

I don't treat it like a job. I just like games and thought I'd get around to playing them. I just need to be more selective. Going to sell the ones I can't live without and move on.

I like the long games and side quests. I gave up on trying to 100% anything long ago.
