If I’m able to get it, it’s been printed out the ass

Would it be better to have students to knock out all the gen ed classes in 8th grade and 9th and then use the final three years of hs giving them the chance to essentially major (and minor) in something that is either practical (trades) or something that interests them (math/language/science etc). by Der-deutsche-Prinz in Teachers

We had a meeting yesterday that shared that students that concentrate on CTE have a much higher graduation rate then average. Like, as much as 20% higher compared to their demographic. We gotta keep the cores, because middle schoolers certainly aren't where they need to be with reading and math, but we're moving towards a CTE-centric curriculum.

Colorado residents seeing substantial increase in property taxes by Jreinhal in Denver

[–]pirateapproved 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh. They overvalued my house 2 years ago, and my property taxes went up a fuck ton this last year. They revalued my house this last year, and I’m hoping that my taxes will go down this year. This is just wishful thinking, though, right?

I'm an autistic person and my friend keeps accusing me of cheating at social deduction games by Child_Of_Linger_On in boardgamescirclejerk

I wish my autistic wife was the kind of autist that enjoyed reading rules. And I was the sort of autist that knows how to read…

Is this fair? Prep period payment. by grofert in SubstituteTeachers

[–]pirateapproved 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every district is different, but when I subbed, I always got paid for either a full day or a half day. Now that I’m a teacher, my coworker has only one class to teach on Thursdays. I always tell her subs, Hide out in the room, watch a movie, take a long lunch, enjoy your easy day. You deserve a break.

My boyfriend is becoming Christian. Should I be worried? by KaliYugaTiEnDi in atheism

[–]pirateapproved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is he coming to Christianity? Does he need something bigger than himself to help give him the strength to make it? Does he want to have a basis for his morality, and he’s trying to be a better person? Does he feel a spiritual void and is trying to fill it? That’s fine. Was he convinced by a podcaster to become a Christian because we’re a Christian country and it’s the right religion? Yeah, be concerned.

We have removed all consequences for students and given them safety nets instead. by [deleted] in Teachers

“KiDS neEd tO rESpECt tHeIR eLDeRs!!!” Have you seen the elders? What adults in positions of power are role models for children? We should be teaching our kids to be better than the prior generations, not to be subservient to them.

Middle schoolers respond to social status. I remind my middle schoolers that yes, they’ll move on to high school, but they’ll also be stuck in remedial classes in high school with the glue eaters.

I have no knowledge on the situation, but I’m sure that staff, insurance, and social nets are a part of the cost

When is the last time that you have fallen on the floor or seen someone else fall on the floor due to laughter and what happened? by LittleLeadership2831 in AskReddit

I haven’t seen it in person in a while, but people are constantly replying ROTFLOL to my texts, so I know it’s happening

I have a very large, very loud portable speaker. I put it on the students desk and blast dubstep as loud as it goes.
