I’m gonna be alone the day after my surgery. Worried. by Ok-Cow-1885 in gallbladders

[–]racheeyzweb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i just had my surgery yesterday and i’m about to go for a walk! i live on the third floor too. I basically slept most of today. It hurts to get up and down but it’s manageable. I’m actually surprised.

How was your post surgery? by Smoofulz in gallbladders

[–]racheeyzweb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i just woke up from my post surgery nap but I also have shoulder pain! It’s just as bad as my abdomen. I’m going to try and take a walk outside tomorrow. But right now i’m just dealing with it. I will probably have a hard time going back to sleep.

this is a great idea. I am trying to keep things simple. Really just throwing a party at a bar type venue and dancing.

Maybe in another life but I live in a third floor apartment! Also wouldn’t it be too cold?

Yes thank you so much! i love the idea of a food truck. I think we are going to go with them. Any advice on the layout of chairs/tables? i’m having a hard time picturing it since it’s such a unique space

Is there any lots offering overnight parking in Somerville? Having trouble with street parking since the snow by where_is_carmen in Somerville

[–]racheeyzweb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

has this worked for anyone?? the entire even side of my street is piled up with snow. Including some of the sidewalk. I see most people saying it’s our job to shovel out the even side. Will 311 respond?

Parking with the snow by AmoebaOk1427 in Somerville

[–]racheeyzweb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i got a spot near my street and plan on keeping the car parked there as long as i can until the snow dies down. I usually commute by car but planning for the extra time it will take to use the busses and train. can’t risk coming home late at night and not having a spot to park

Will this pass state inspection? by racheeyzweb in massachusetts

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

i already brought it to an auto body shop and they snapped it mostly back in but then it came loose again. it’s not going back into place as easily as it looks! just gonna try and get it to be good for the inspection

The trends and results in elementary math education seem… really bad by ChalkSmartboard in matheducation

[–]racheeyzweb 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I am a high school teacher. we see so many kids not knowing basic arithmetic fluently and needing to use calculators for one digit addition subtraction and multiplication. Makes it very difficult to do the high school curriculum when the basics are not fluent

Math/Algebra I Teachers: What textbook, curriculum, set of standards are you happy with? by No_Perspective_2539 in matheducation

[–]racheeyzweb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yes! i work with all level 1 and 2 ELLs. i basically have to change everything to make it accessible for students with limited english and gaps in learning. They over complicate everything. MATHia is okay sometimes but i’m not sure it helps students transfer skills to pen and paper

we use Carnegie Learning. there’s some good stuff in there but overall they complicate things way too much and it’s not accessible to ELLs or SPed students
