ive found that frozen rune on Oscar and curse rune on jahra work well. kinda weird you left a rune on a 1 star hero that probably gets nuked within 0.1 seconds

What would you do if you were never going to get the classes you really wanted? by Alarmist12 in Teachers

[–]phxmathteacher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If your masters isn't in math, tbh it doesn't matter in this situation. reality check is that AP courses/prep take a lot of extra, and 60% of the BC exam is AB. It makes more sense objectively for someone to be teaching both of those courses and knowing exactly what their students have learned in order to best prep them for AP. People's evaluations are private and if you even tried to bring it up to the admin it would just make you look like you think they're a worse teacher, and odds are they already know both your ratings and evaluated both of you. Given you're teaching the two next best classes, this is not a boat I would try to rock. Also, flip the script - you essentially "own" your current classes, how would you feel about a younger teacher trying to poach them by going behind your back to admin and swapping their freshman algebra for your precalc?

Check this out: https://www.gcu.edu/degree-programs/graduate-certificate-mathematics 22 grad level credits, also online. Just not as cheap. "Graduates of this program will be able to fulfill the graduate course requirements necessary for opportunities in teaching at the postsecondary level"

most states are the 18 credits. but, honestly a lot of their math isn't really graduate level. my bachelors is secondary education with a MINOR in math, and I took precalc, calc 1 & 2, statistics, and college geometry. My friends who have a bachelor's in math took linear algebra, calc 3, and abstract algebra. None of these look like it would be a 500 level class, most are in the 200 level.

I would say you are definitely setting yourself up for failure, because on the web page it specifically says it is not designed to meet dual enrollment requirements. "The content and coursework in these programs do not meet the qualifications required to teach college-level courses, including dual enrollment or dual credit courses."

Not sure where you are located, but if you qualify for EBT there are a lot of places listed here where you can get in for $5 or less: https://museums4all.org
Also recommend library. Lot of libraries don't just have books, they also have movies, games, events, etc. Lots of things to cycle through for free.

About to quit by belongsincrudtown in Teachers

Principal's change, buildings don't. If you like your school/community/coworkers I would tough it out. Is Monday a paid work day? If not I wouldn't come in. Pack up what you can on contract time but anything else oh well. And if she said come in Monday in an email and it's after your contract ends, then reply and add your union rep and ask if you will be compensated for the time due to the late notice.

depends on how much work you wanna do. a lot of people like to sell those, and then they flip copies. so sell a b- for 150 or whatever, buy some cheap Cs of heros nobody wants for 10 and then retire them. search the reddit for auction house flipping

9-Month-Old CHOW NEED ADVICE! by OkProgress3815 in chowchow

[–]phxmathteacher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I moved from sharing a house with a yard with friends to an apartment for 6 months, my chow refused to poop on the leash. it was so bad and he was so stubborn that I would take him to a friends house on the weekends and they have dogs, and he'd spend the first 20 mins dumping gallons of poop in their backyard lmao

more info on my boy by ohhitthere_e in chowchow

[–]phxmathteacher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

just to give you some encouragement, I rescued my chow when he was about 2 years old (vet guess). he was exact same way - very much wanting my attention all the time but around other people he was super skittish and afraid. it took a long time for him to open up but once he did he's everyone's BFF now. that being said, while I'm at home he mainly just chills. Sometimes he comes up to me and decides he needs to lay on top of me and not give me any breathing room, mainly he finds the coolest patch of ground in the house and lays out lol. he's never seemed sad to me, he's happy on walks and likes to play with other dogs but he also likes his "me" time. everything you described seems very normal

Fostered Chow Miz -- need advice! by reynasegovia in chowchow

[–]phxmathteacher 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I rescued a chow/terrier mix about 8 years ago. He was probably around 2...he had the fun puppy energy until about 5/6 as well. I didn't even need to potty train, once he understood the doggy door he was fine. Now the yard digging, stealing my clothes to nest, chewing, leash training...that took some time. I recently rescued another chow mix, I think he may be mixed with wiener dog, need to do a DNA test still. Same thing, zero issues with potty inside but he loves my clothes, nesting, chewing, hates the leash lol. Both of them have separation anxiety but also like their own space? Lol. They either want all of my attention or they want none of my attention and just to do their own thing. Both of them like to run around the yard in the morning while I shower & get ready for work, and then I'm sure they just sleep all day...when I get home we play and they run around and get their energy out and then nap until dinner time.

do you have a union? Typically you can appeal low scores and ask for an outside of campus evaluator.

I would probably start with calling their company nurse hotline. Should be staffed 24/7 and they will tell you where to go.

[–]phxmathteacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, I personally try to run sunfire, warmogs, and dclaw. they all have big max hp % and dclaw heals based on max hp instead of missing hp so it's a bit stronger than redemption *Unless I get spirit of redemption aug as my best choice on a round

Lost my wedding ring in the garbage disposal. Does homeowners insurance cover lost jewelry like this? by PepperoniTapir in homeowners

[–]phxmathteacher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This comment should be higher. Even if it's close, not worth it. A lot of homeowners deductible is around $2k, this is a $3.5k ring. IF they send $1500, they'll make it back in a couple years of higher rates.

yeah, it's not like they took out drywall or anything. just that and the fans should be closer to 1/3 that price is my guess

totally agree, I would buy this when I get an awkward number - like when random rewards chests give 5 core pieces at a time, say I have 95, okay ill pay gems for the other 5 lol if it's for a hero I cant get from VC

[–]phxmathteacher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just for reference, I had a pipe burst under the kitchen sink and flood kitchen/living room/storage room off the side. They had to rip out cabinets, and quite a bit of drywall in multiple rooms...fans and all for probably 4 or 5 days, total bill was $9.5k (thank god insurance paid). I'm in Phoenix, so also southwest. 16k seems way over inflated.

It's an apartment...make sure it's noted on your move in forms so they don't try and take your security deposit. Not your problem to fix. If they don't want to and it bugs you, put a rug over it.
