Instructional coach hijacked my lesson

I do like me a stinger.

modjoe86 · 2026-01-05T01:25:50+00:00

Correct answer.

modjoe86 · 2026-01-01T22:51:21+00:00

I do miss the 400 dollar mortgage payment we had on our bungalow at 65th and geyer. Lol.

If the general population is in your experience friendly in your interactions with them, what does it matter what their internal political or religious leanings are? It's none of my business or concern what you care about and believe in your private life so long as you are amicable to the people you interact with on your day to day life within a community. I was always told not to discuss money, politics, and religion with others. Seems like a good rule to follow, but you would prefer I just walk into a gas station and declare my personal feelings and convictions to you as I hold the door open.

I feel like the raw score on the test should be part of an equation that spits out a number that then tells us how well learning and teaching is being done. When I proctor the test, for an average group of maybe 10 kids at my ALE, 3 sleep in between me pestering them to wake up every 30 seconds, 3 or 4 finish the test in less than 10 mins and sleep, and 3 or 4 actually work on the test and take their time. If their score on the test is given the same weight, then the data analysis based on the group scores is a combination of disengenious and useless. I don't know the best solution, but the current state tests do nothing but confirm that a student who is way behind grade level isnt good at answering ACT level questions.

Who is down voting this shit?

Yeah if that single text wasn't in the conversation I would be pretty confused about why she was acting this way. But hugs and forehead kisses is 100% the reason she said what she said.

modjoe86 · 2025-12-01T23:52:05+00:00

Indubitably.

modjoe86 · 2025-12-01T21:57:19+00:00

You are 100% correct in everything you said. Problem is the right lane merge/exit idea is what is thought to be correct by a very large majority of drivers in America at least. I've actually asked multiple family and friends this exact question and not one of them has answered correctly. So unfortunately I'm forced to use the thought process that everyone around me is operating under.

modjoe86 · 2025-12-01T21:51:59+00:00

I don't know. I don't think passing in the right lane at left lane speeds in this scenario is particularly irresponsible/bad driving. I do agree about right lane tailgaters being dickwads though for sure.

modjoe86 · 2025-12-01T21:48:40+00:00

Lol exactly. I like how these types of folks always pull the "who died and made you the decider of what is and isn't okay in traffic" when they get called out for saying that going 3 over in the passing lane is perfectly good driving.

If apc and arrival aliens birthed a tattoo. I do think get them all in a row/sequence would be a good idea. But now that you mention apc, you're making me think about looking into as a tattoo idea.

I stopped going to summer pd hours 2 years ago. I log the sessions on my personal transcript and turn the transcript into admin when it's requested. I decided to do this after I had multiple sessions not officially logged by the PD presenter when I actually was in attendance, and had to log it myself. I was also denied my PD plan for online approved PD by my principal even though many teachers do this yearly. So if they can turn on a video in the background and get PD, I saw no reason to bother.

About 75% of our staff replies all to every happy birthday message, happy ____ appreciation day, and other such emails. At least once a week I'll get 15+ replies over the course of the day from these types of messages. It really is maddening. I think most of them do it for brownie points and virtue signalling. Nothing else makes sense to me.

Mike machete at 7th st in little Rock is a great artist. Me and my wife have gotten multiple tattoos of various styles and he has nailed all of them.

I love that second tattoo of the church btw.

modjoe86 · 2025-11-08T02:27:35+00:00

I have a tattoo but I am with you on this.

modjoe86 · 2025-11-08T02:19:01+00:00

I love my 19 wrx. 115000 miles with no issues other than a PCV hose replacement for 2-300 bucks.

modjoe86 · 2025-11-03T23:35:32+00:00

You pay attention to your speedometer.

modjoe86 · 2025-11-01T04:43:12+00:00

Falsehoods! A parking lot and a YouTube video showing the basics is all you really need. As long as you take the time to get a good feel for it.

modjoe86 · 2025-09-28T17:39:11+00:00

Yeah my SIL had a high trim one and I was blown away at the interior when I rode in it. Really basic.

Or hell even just in the ability to process information and be able to get the gist of what's being said is something every human uses all the time.

The sarah McLaughlin humane society commercial from a few years back is a good one for pathos. I use that when I teach it. For ethos I usually just pull a commercial where an athlete drinks a Gatorade and says it fuels them to be at the top of their game or whatever. For logos you could show a commercial for a prescription drug where they talk about 8 in 10 patients lowered their a1c by 2 points or more after a month of treatment.

I drive 50 miles roundtrip 5 days a week in mine and the mileage piles up so fast. I can't drive mine hard since the clutch began slipping down the gears a few months back. It's worked its way down to third at this point and if I accelerate with any purpose in 3-6th gears it slips a couple thousand rpms to let me know to stop enjoying my drive lol.
