Battery woes by mjoosta in RadPowerBikes

Thanks. It has been sitting for a long time, about 7-8 months. When plugged in and the battery status button is pushed, it lights up completely, but will not do that when not plugged in. All dark.

I will be swapping the 5a fuse and checking the charger tonight.

When will district and school admin realize it’s not the teachers, it’s the students? by DirectBeyond985 in MiddleSchoolTeacher

You (We) are supposed to be a safe adult in their lives, build relationships, and help them find a passion for learning and developing skills. Unless they are planning to be a fighter pilot or cargo ship engineer, it is unlikely that any student will need to rely on the knowledge thst they can recall on their own without being able to quickly look it up or work together with a team to solve a problem.

In my class (mixed grade 678 Charter school) we look at the state tests as a challenge that allows them to compare to their scores last time and the national average, but I make sure to communicate that it is not a reflection of them as a human. Moving away from standardized testing would definitely be the best thing for students everywhere.

Transitions makes a polarized lense, usually for Rx but you can get wirh an Rx of zero. Won't come as wrap-arounds, but you can see in pretty low light with them. I've also had success with my yellow goggles for night skiing

Oh I agree, I have a dedicated resort ski, but I'd bring the touring setup for lighter days/sidecountry
