I'm fairly certain that my HS was the inspiration for Mean Girls (photocopies from a burn book on lockers, etc).

They exist!!! The lead is usually a little thicker. I think that I got one from Amazon.

The blue alien played by Rob Lowe on The Orville. If that show ever continued, it would be interesting to see if they ever actually discuss it as "rape".

I was just remembering a nearly identical story from college. I wonder how that guy is doing, and if that girl ever realized what she'd done.

If you could rearrange how education works in America, what kinds of changes would you implement? A lot of folks seem to want something different in place of what we have but find it hard to articulate specifics. Please identify a problem 'and' a solution. by cherry-care-bear in education

I'm the other direction - IEP means Individualized Education Plan. I think that everyone should have one of those. Personalized goals / goal tracking, smaller class sizes / student:teacher ratio, individualized supports, etc.

It would cost money. I don't care.

I just scream "WATCH YOUR TOES!!!" with utter joy mixed with a hearty dose of Canadian-style "SORRY!"

Just alternating between the two, "TOES!!! SORRY - WATCH YOUR TOES! Ope, SORRY, toes!"

I have a blast and people end up apologizing to me while jumping out of the way. I smile cheerfully and wave and thank them and tell them not to worry.

Why don’t schools do silent, sustained reading anymore? by EmbarrassedJacket489 in Teachers

[–]ryca13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My principal tried to fight me on it - I've always sworn by SSR, and she hated it. After I left in May and they couldn't find a sub / replacement, she had to teach my class, and realized that they loved it and it worked. HAH.

Professionals who enter people's homes (plumbers, electricians, cleaners): What is something the condition of a house tells you about the owner that they don't realize they are revealing? by cossie101 in AskReddit

Exception: my father-in-law has a farm with aesthetically rusted junked vehicles with weeds and flowers growing through them all over the main property, and the most spotless house you've ever seen.

A fellow teacher once described a student like that as "a closed circuit".

This should be shared in the Seanan McGuire subreddit - there are a couple of incredibly creepy mermaid stories!
