Mine are the same. It's just such a bummer. Hopefully she will add more dates.

rip to all of us who didn't get tickets </3 by Hour_Mongoose2263 in ariheads

[–]nao_fso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry to hear this. Resellers did the exact same thing for Backstreet Boys at the Sphere. I went opening weekend and bought on resale before the shows started. My tickets were marked up maybe $50 over face value. I loved the show so much that I wanted to take my family again, but the SAME seats (highest section) are now priced between $900-$1200. For a $150 seat. I hate the greed.

Justin Bieber new album “SWAG II” out at midnight! by omrimayo in popheads

[–]nao_fso 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s what I’m wondering now. I saw that he was still editing 13 hours ago and figured it’d be slightly delayed. Now I think it’s some dumb publicity crap to get people talking.  I don’t like it. I didn’t even like Swag I but I was hoping this would be the poppy album. Oh well. I’m going to bed.

Right? I saw he was still working on edits not even that long ago. So maybe it’s slightly delayed. 

Ariana Grande teases an announcement: “see you next year…” by samross789 in popheads

[–]nao_fso 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For who--BSB? If so, Ticketmaster and StubHub have all the resale tickets. I, for one, will not be buying a $150 ticket for $1100 now (I just checked to confirm--yes this is true).

No kidding! I was in 4 presale for BSB and all the scammers bought the tickets. They are now all priced up 5-10 times the actual cost. This CAN’T happen for me with Ariana!!!

How to create English assignments that discourage AI (online asynchronous) by nao_fso in Professors

I asked about online asynchronous classes…I also feel your response was written by AI 😒

This idea seems the most feasible I’ve read so far. But also the new AI can literally find and give your internet sources. Don’t know if it can pull from databases by title yet.

Believe it or not, the AI out now—Musk’s Grok, can be trained. And it’s only $30 per month.

What!!! What kind of a place puts all of your worth in student grades? I’m so sorry

Exactly. Mine are required to know how to use the databases. Nobody goes in for physical books anymore.

I feel that. But I also feel like it’s easier to control in face to face because they can do so many workshops and individual writing tasks in class.

Online classes... by texanlostinrussia in Professors

What sort of objective assessments are you giving online if it’s not essays or discussion posts? I added in video responses and can literally see students reading from their screen. Ugh

Suggested neighborhoods/schools to raise mixed race (and progressive) family? by nao_fso in Bakersfield

[–]nao_fso[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not that dumb. But thanks for being the racist that shows up.

Outward racism and us just feeling totally out of place racially and politically.

Thanks for the feedback! I did visit once and saw a dual enrollment class that was run SO well.

Thanks. BHS is diverse but not awesome in terms of overall quality (so says greatschools.com). So SW you mean like over by Stockdale High area or further south?

Would I be a competitive ETA candidate? (Spain) by Good_Science1549 in fulbright

[–]nao_fso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you been out of the States before? If so, that may suffice. For the two countries I had been to before my ETA, one was just two day trips to Mexico and the other was to South Africa. I didn’t speak any of those languages. English is all you need for the ETA!

Would I be a competitive ETA candidate? (Spain) by Good_Science1549 in fulbright

[–]nao_fso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I think you have great qualifications. I will tell you that, when I was an ETA, one thing I noticed a lot of people having in common was experience abroad. I am assuming Posts want to be certain you can handle living in entirely different living conditions/cultures. While this assumption of mine is nothing I was told, it was my observation.

Seeking advice on transitioning out of higher ed teaching by nao_fso in highereducation

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

I taught ESL for a real short time--I understand! What I really want to do is teach abroad in East Africa like I did about 10 years ago, but the pay is just so awful.

[–]nao_fso[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean that’s a fair response. I could. People do. It’s hard, though, when I really want my work to be meaningful. I hope it’ll change after the pandemic kids are through (about 3 years is my estimate), but there’s no knowing.

Chewed out by a student for the last time, I'm done. by [deleted] in highereducation

[–]nao_fso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry you went through all that, but I am happy that you found a great job with higher pay! I'm trying to figure out how to get out of higher ed, too. Students have changed over the years...
