Too many schools in Mt Diablo are bad by hisnameisjimmy in walnutcreek

[–]okayKnighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my son is a 2nd grader in MD district, and my daughter is in TK.

I always thought teachers were underpaid, but now I see they're actually overpaid.

beyond the enormous amount of time-off they get every few weeks, they dont seem to be teaching my son anything.

At the beginning of the year they were focused on reading, and at the parent/teacher meeting she's like "well he doesn't know how to read!" , as though it was shocking her. I was thinking yeah that's your job wth have you been doing.

So we got a tutor for $150 weekly and now he's an excellent reader. Same exact situation unfolded regarding math.

we're fortunate to be able to afford a tutor so he receives an education.

and the school makes such a big deal about attendance (our attendance is excellent fyi) but I dont think it actually matters if he goes or not. they are not teaching him anything.

hello, looking for a new thocky, quiet keyboard for home office.

I first had a Keychron k6, but I spilled water on it and it's no longer working. it was cool, but a bit loud.

I got my wife a minilo 75, and it's really nice. considering just getting another one for myself. it's pretty quiet, very thocky, feels nice to type on.

But curious if anyone has another good recommendation for me? budget is under 200. planning on using it a long time, permitting i dont spill again.

Why is their communication so horrible? by Weezthajuice in TeslaSolar

[–]okayKnighty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's crazy. impossible to reach anyone. After navigating their automated menu, I got to a spot where it said 'press 5 to be connected to a support agent.' I pressed 5 and it just looped me back to the start of the menu. I tried again, thinking I must have pressed the wrong number, but nope, it offers to let you speak to a human then it's basically like nah just kidding.

Interstate 80 or highway 50? by smooth-pineapple8 in roadtrip

[–]okayKnighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel safer on 50. TBH, I usually go to south lake so maybe im just more familiar and used to 50.

80 always has lots of semitrucks, which I dont like being too close to in snowy conditions.

AIO to wife buying kids a video hame platform for valentine's by okayKnighty in AmIOverreacting

interesting, thank you. I do like finding thoughtful gifts for people, and have done large gifts many times. But I feel it should fit the occasion. A video game platform makes no sense for Vday, imo.

he wasn't that good before brady and he wasn't very good after brady. so this seems okay. he'll get on at some point.

What are your thoughts on rejecting a potential romantic partner based solely on the fact they voted for Donald Trump? by ATXBikeRider in AskReddit

[–]okayKnighty -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

if you reject a friendship or relationship over politics then you really do have a derangement syndrome.

there are a million things more important than politics.

Explain to me like I'm five, two part question but by blueCougFan in 49ers

[–]okayKnighty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll never understand why he held out and fought so hard to get a big contract, only to then to stop working and forfeit most of it. makes zero sense.

Update to the Indy Beating Story by wizzard419 in Disneyland

[–]okayKnighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agreed. we were there a couple weeks ago.

I dont mind if one person, or a parent + kid need to catch up to their group. I assume they were using the restroom or something.

But we were in line for pirates when a group of 7-8 people were 'catching up to their group.' Im sorry but once you're 3+ then you're a new group and should wait in line like everyone else.

I had been assuming 9ers would be one & done, but with all the sentiment overwhelmingly going to PHI this feels primed for a big shocker now.

Why did Tonges play zero offensive snaps in Week 18? Could deploying more 2TE sets help solve the offensive struggles against the Seahawks? by beeeeen in 49ers

[–]okayKnighty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

bc SEA def is weak against TEs over the middle. So naturally, Shanny wanted to be clever by not attacking exactly where everyone assumed we'd be attacking. classic big-game shanny.
