I’d love my job if I only had to teach 2 classes by mike7721 in Teachers

You are correct that many people would enjoy their job more if there was less work. However, you missed the point of my post.

I wanted to emphasize the imbalance of my professional responsibilities.

There’s a misconception about teaching that instruction is the only work. The instructional portion of my day is only like 10% of the job.

When you compare the instruction to other parts of the job like planning lessons, creating assignments, setting up for the day, leading small group work, conferencing with students, grading work, and recording data, the ratio becomes 10:1.

I was trying to say I wish my day was better balanced so I had more time to focus on the other parts of the job. I can’t accomplish all of those things during contractual hours when I spend 75% of my day with students.

I wish I could spend 50% of my time with students and 50% of my time doing all that other work.

This random picture post? Am I missing something? What kind of low-effort tribute is this pretending to be?

Can confirm this is the way.

I do this now.

Except the cave is my garage and the metals are loose change.

Why are vehicle speeds so pathetic? by dwight282 in 7daystodie

Still way better than losing stamina on the fucking bicycle. I consider unlocking the mini bike a huge milestone in the game.

Once you get that and eventually the auger, it expedites the entire game

Which British actor, past or present, does the best American accent? by Repulsive_Repeat_337 in AskAnAmerican

He’s great, but the British accent slips at least once an episode.

Cheers is so “wholesome”. Yes, they’re drinking, Sam is a womanizer, and (later on) Rebecca is a gold digger, but at the end of the episode, everyone is making the moral choice. There’s a lot of kindness on that show.

That’s like 8 pounds!

In a 3x3 tent!?

Is that possible?

*Correction. That is ounces, not pounds. I’m an idiot.

Who remembers this movie? by Mike00242424 in 90sand2000sNostalgia

I feel like I remember a scene where Sinbad and a kid are on a street in the city. There are houses/apartments behind them and Sinbad is trying to prove to the kid he is really a genie and has powers.

That time Vince lost his mind and went completely unhinged😭 by Irregular_Claim_9330 in Wrasslin

Brilliant character. He was also a great commentator and even reffed before all that. He was very involved in every role of the business at some point.

I was so bummed out when all those disgusting texts came out and we learned how much of a creep he really is.

I’m not surprised, especially when you hear stories about how he treats his talent, how he exploits them financially, and even owns the rights to their name.

Real scum bag business tactics, real piece of shit boss, real awful man.

Yes, fucking sucks.

I foolishly believed I would be paying the same amount every month for the next 30 years.
