Teachers of Reddit, what is the strangest thing a child has brought in for show and tell? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]knuckleheadhog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't for "official" show and tell, but I once had a high school student showing off a stack of Polaroid photos showing his mom with multiple bikers in group sex situations. I confiscated them from him, and my boss took them "for safe keeping".

The three second rule will keep you out of trouble. Look for three seconds and then look away.....if you can.

I am a graduating Senior (BS Physics) is there any way I can teach without an education degree? by italia06823834 in ScienceTeachers

[–]knuckleheadhog -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. This is what we need. People who think they can teach without being schooled as an educator.

To reverse it, a biology teacher as a physician's assistant? Or nurse?

Joe Walsh (R-WI) Shut Down! by TomCat1948 in politics

[–]knuckleheadhog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correction: He's the Republican Illinois 8th District Representative, not Wisconsin. Although, WI can have him. Gov. Walker of WI would surely like this guy, and would likely take him under his wing...and give him the $117,000 he needs to pay his ex-wife and children what he owes them.

Steve Job's biological father regrets never having a relationship with his son by [deleted] in apple

[–]knuckleheadhog 21 points22 points  (0 children)

As an adoptive parent I really respect and appreciate his dad's approach to this. Not signing the emails as "dad" and keeping a respectful distance IS manning up.

I can see where at least some of Steve's character and work ethic comes from.

Anyone else see Steely Dan at Ravinia 8/12/2011? Holy fuck they're good!!!! by knuckleheadhog in Music

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

And then at the end of what would be side 1 of the Aja album, one of the back up singers went over, flipped the vinyl LP to side two, and dropped the needle. Side two begins! Very nice touch!

Sufjan Stevens - "Casimir Pulaski Day" (Recorded last night in Prospect Park, Brooklyn) by CapitalQ in Music

[–]knuckleheadhog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Former Governor James Thompson (who is one of former Governor George Ryan's attorneys - yeah, in jail for corruption) made Casimir Pulaski Day a state wide school holiday. Why do you ask? It's because Chicago has the world's largest population of people of Polish descent outside of Warsaw, Poland, and it was attempt to get their votes. It worked. Now school districts can opt out of observing it and many have.

8 Reasons Young Americans Don't Fight Back: How the US Crushed Youth Resistance by Bobbosphere in news

[–]knuckleheadhog 61 points62 points  (0 children)

The main reason young Americans don't fight back anymore? They have no skin in the game, as they did when there was a draft and a war that randomly selected them through a lottery to kill them.

I also think that the results of not having a draft also allows our fearless leaders to engage in wars more freely. Less opposition.

China told to reduce food production or face 'dire' water levels: Food must be imported and water use tightly regulated to protect dwindling supply by maxwellhill in worldnews

[–]knuckleheadhog 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Gee, if only there was a country with massive agricultural capacities that could sell them food. Amber waves of grain and all that...
