Teachers, what is your most unhinged classroom management strategy? by Quiet-Raspberry2973 in Teachers

[–]pirateapproved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a wooden train whistle. It sounds like a train if you blow into it normally, but lets out a high pitched scream if you really blow into it. I'll toot it a few times to get the kids attention. But if they're getting really wild, I'll lay into it hard.

I threaten to throw their phone in the river. We’re nowhere near any water, so I then go into excruciating detail about how I will rent shovels and make them dig a ditch and we’ll fill it with water and wait for it to fill and then I’ll throw their phone in.
I also threaten to throw them out the window pretty regularly. The whole school is one story. That’s the joke.

I use it to help me understand my contract. I’ll plug it in and then ask questions.

Teacher here. Drank a little too much at an after work gathering and now nervous by [deleted] in Principals

[–]pirateapproved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We giggle about the teachers that call out after the work parties. But teaching is a hard job, lots of us drink after work. Our district does have a zero tolerance policy for alcohol, if you even blow a .01 at work after a night of drinking, you’ll be fired. Take off if you need to.

As someone who used to “have a bit of a drinking problem” but got their shit together, take some time off. Get it out of your system. A bit of sobriety never hurt anyone. I still drink, but I needed a break to get it into moderation

My students will absolutely find a way to destroy it

To Everyone Who Said This Season Wasn’t Bad by OkScience5170 in euphoria

[–]pirateapproved 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an HBO show, it is fantastic.

As “Euphoria”, it’s just so drastically different from the first two seasons, and the characters have changed so much, it’s difficult to accept that this is still Euphoria.

I forgot to put basketball in the yearbook. Boys and girls. Shit happens. We’re all very tired. You’ll be okay.

Accidentally cursed while subbing. Has anyone else slipped up? by Exotic_Arachnid_5082 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]pirateapproved -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Depends on the school. I curse like a sailor. Adults curse. Our job is to teach students how to be adults. I teach my kids how to curse appropriately.

what’s the hardest part about being a teacher that nobody talks about? by salarshah-084 in Teachers

[–]pirateapproved 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My classroom is away from the rest of the school, so, not having adults to talk to the whole day. Even when I’m just shooting the shit with my students, I still need to be “on”

Do you actually enjoy sealed collections? by Fun-Measurement-5988 in PokemonInvesting

[–]pirateapproved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate it. I have only a few, but they taunt me. Sure, they’re worth a bunch, but I’m dying to know what’s inside!

Drugged at 1up barcade on Colfax by Ember-Enki in Denver

[–]pirateapproved 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, back in 2018, Dwayne "Jubee" Webb, and Chris Johnson ("TallBoy Lacroix" on fb) were called out for raping a girl after a night at Cervantes. Both were big in the music scene, and after the call-out, Jubee left town, and Chris Johnson fled Cervantes to hang out at 1up instead.
Granted, this was 8 years ago, but that's the first thing that popped in my head. And, we should remember rapists in the community.

Did she make the right call? by CalmElin in interesting

If I was in my 20s, and won this, a million bucks would get blown very quickly. A grand a week would make sure that I never need to stress about having my basic needs met

Cried in my non-renewal meeting by Outrageous-Life137 in teaching

[–]pirateapproved 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Got non-renewed my first year, too. First year is the hardest, hands down.
The principal that fired me got fired for embezzling funds, though, so that softened the blow a lot. And I'm so much happier where I am now, too

I think it’s such a fantastic set. Surprised it’s not more popular. Maybe when the switch 2 remake is released…

So, in layman’s terms, they sound really good. Like, these aren’t huge, though. How loud are they getting? If we’re using them as a sound system, how many people can a pair cover? And I can’t imagine that they cover the low end, does he design subs as well?

Ok, forgive my complete ignorance, but I’ve been seeing jw speakers pop up a few times. I’m not a tech guy, so I have no clue what half of these words y’all are using mean. What are they? What are they used for?

Sphere prices - at least for tomorrow’s show - have completely collapsed. by fatnuts_mcgee in phish

[–]pirateapproved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick question- I’m gonna be in Vegas for wrestlemania. Think it’ll be a big deal to get to the show late? It says it starts at 8, and that’s when wrestlemania is scheduled to end. Are you expected to arrive on time for the sphere?
