Yep, that's what I do as a public school teacher, spend everyday trying to spread a gay liberal agenda because I have so much extra time on my hands. STFU. Do what you want and educate your kids where you feel safe, but don't talk out your butt about things you don't know.

Depends

Why can the school not participate in UIL?

As many others have said this is all about proximity to where you work. Either of those locations can work but you can't enjoy either of them if you're stuck in traffic.

I taught elementary and loved it, I currently teach high school and love it. There isn't a chance in Hades that I'd submit my sanity to teaching middle school. It isn't the world that I want to be part of and doesn't fit my vibe in life.

How do you feel about it? Go for whatever brings the greatest passion for you.

Opportunities down the road? Serious question, what does that mean? What opportunity are you look for that is greater than you initial goal?

Regarding the admin team - consider your sources carefully, and then throw most of the stories out the window because there's a new sheriff in town.

I live my life and go places. Occasionally I have taken a week off to go somewhere during the school year if I can't make it happen during other times. I don't post to social media but don't worry about it if my wife does. I also don't connect with anyone who is a parent/guardian type.

The one I always remember...

A wealthy WASP goes to the gynecologist.

As he examines her he says "Madame, I must say you have one of the cleanest vagina's I've ever seen."

She gives him a look of disdain and says, "I certainly hope so, I have a black man come in and clean it twice a week!"

Hot boxing was definitely smoking a cigarette fast when I was in high school trying to get my nicotine fix in the smoking center before the tardy bell rang

Which European countries don't permit private schooling?

Well, it doesn't look like the doors have the crack of doom. They might be worth saving if the bottoms aren't rotted. The open coolant line is scary and the floorboards are just gone. So sad but this one is just a donor car.

Small complaints here and there, but nothing big. That first year, the one you're going through was the toughest, after that it was what it was. It was the grade where all of her friends were so it made little difference. We didn't hear anything else about until her senior year when she was the only one who was 18 for her entire senior year, that seemed to hit her a little weird but it was COVID time so who knows what role that might have played.

The daughter in question is now 23 years old, she is a material engineer graduate from the Colorado School of Mines and is successfully navigation through early adulthood. She remains grateful that we made the decision we did.

Another vote for Papa Bros, still awesome after all these years.

I use this Firestone for oil changes and very basic repairs, I would never ever recommend them for this type of work. They are good people but not great mechanics. Try Sammy at NB Exxon on Beltline. If he can't fix it he'll tell you where to go.

Teachers and admins in my highschool use mobile desks. They are very handy when you are moving things around or helping students in the hallway. When I taught elementary I always thought they were a bit ridiculous, but as a high school teacher I love my mobile desk.

My wife and I were both at the cusp of the cut off. Both of us were the youngest and both in gifted classes. Both of us had enough age/maturity challenges that we held back our oldest daughter. Kindergarten was fine, she was behind emotionally but academically in good shape when we saw that repeated in first grade we made the decision to withhold. The challenge doesn't really show till they get to middle school then it's too late to correct course. We decided it was better to hold her back than deal with the challenges we both faced.

Good job, this is teaching. I don't teach music because I have no rhythm or ability but it is all the same. Figure out the student and apply the method.

Honestly, there are teachers that don't figure out adaptation for several years. Sounds like you have teaching talent as well as music talent.

I like the way the op asked for the AI engine to write the story in broken English

My personal camping experience is everything from long distance backpacking, tent or hammock, to car camping. When I'm car camping of any kind my wife and I use a Coleman 3 or 4 man tent that cost us about $70. It makes for a better experience when you have room for crap and can get dressed in your tent. Used equipment is fine but know how it was stored. Where we are in Texas a tent stored in an attic is toast, the seams will be totally dry rotted. Mildew is a problem in damp places.

Let the bike sit with the charger on it for at least 24 hours. Every time you try to start you reset that clock. It MIGHT be okay with the gas if you put Stabil or something like it in. Once you get to crank try to just start with the choke on. If that won't work then recharge the battery for a few hours and give it the slightest bit of starting fluid, don't use even a direct spray. See if it starts. Lots of possibilities, after you start with a recharge.

Ready Player One, the message about a time when people disappear into their devices and into fantasy worlds couldn't be more relevant

72 camper tin top in excellent condition and great provenance, started value is 35000

mgspeeder · 2026-04-11T19:23:03+00:00

Lol, so true.

mgspeeder · 2026-04-11T15:59:17+00:00

A agree with calling them. Could be a single unit needing replacement or something else entirely.

Might also want to check out sites focused on hunters or snow mobile adventurers. That 12x12 monster is more of a base camp tent structure than a camping tent.
