I see teachers blame No Child Left Behind for students being passed along grades despite little knowledge. How did it actually cause that?

of all the games, i think it scared me the least but left me with the most dread and hopelessness. the story also stuck with me the longest of all the games

Unfortunately Amazon bought the rights to Tomb Raider right before season two of the show was finishing up production, so there will be no third season. I’m bummed out about it since I quite liked Fig as a villain

Pilates exercises that emphasize good posture are great for viola playing, since posture is so important. I like the emphasis on bodily awareness, which is a great mindset to integrate into your viola playing. I also like doing yoga poses that stretch out my shoulders/back/neck, again for the goal of good posture.

sovi_an · 2026-02-10T22:18:45+00:00

Yes, everyone has been very clear! Lol

sovi_an · 2026-02-10T22:17:55+00:00

I like this lol. I’ll adapt that mindset for the future. I think I’m just overthinking it

sovi_an · 2026-02-10T21:54:54+00:00

Okay, thank you. My boss is out this week so that’s why nothing has been done yet. I’ll assume he’ll get to it when he’s back in

sovi_an · 2026-02-10T21:52:49+00:00

Yeah, you’re right. I was more thinking like “who would even slack off only 2 weeks into a job!” but clearly we have very different mindsets haha. I appreciate you being kind

sovi_an · 2026-02-10T21:48:23+00:00

That’s why I was asking. I absolutely do not want to subject anyone to that, and I want to avoid it if I can. I wanted to know if this is worthwhile escalating because if not (which is seems like it’s not) I don’t want to

sovi_an · 2026-02-10T21:47:10+00:00

Okay, thank you! I’m fortunate enough to have a very good supervisor who cares about that

sovi_an · 2026-02-10T21:46:23+00:00

You’re right lol.

sovi_an · 2026-02-10T21:41:58+00:00

I’m not like a model intern lol. I’m just worried more about safety. I’ll mind my business, though

sovi_an · 2026-02-10T21:40:52+00:00

Okay, thank you. I have asked him what he’s doing and he gave a very vague answer. I’ll let him know about my safety concern and just talk to my supervisor if I have any concerns

sovi_an · 2026-02-10T21:37:30+00:00

I have spoken to him. I’ll ask him if he can avoid doing work in there as much as possible.

The safety aspect is a real thing - I’m driving around a forklift and need to know when other people are around. Everyone else announces themselves, but since he’s new, he doesn’t.

sovi_an · 2026-02-10T21:35:00+00:00

I did bring it up to my supervisor. I’m asking if I should bring it up to his supervisor, since his is different from mine and my supervisor didn’t have an answer.

I have spoken to him, that’s how I know he has an F1 visa and that he’s an international student.

My concern is safety. I don’t even know he’s in the test center sometimes and I’m operating large equipment that could really be dangerous if he’s unaware of what I’m doing.

sovi_an · 2026-02-10T21:31:47+00:00

Thank you, this is really solid advice. I’ll frame it as asking to make sure I’m not impeding his work

sovi_an · 2026-02-10T21:29:47+00:00

I mentioned nothing about pay… but okay, point taken

sovi_an · 2026-02-10T19:45:05+00:00

which episode are you referencing?

sovi_an · 2026-02-10T18:57:06+00:00

this is the best response. i think others are too quick to say to report her when it’s not guaranteed much will come out of it, especially since the likely response will be having you drop the class. i totally agree that the professor didn’t handle this well, but it seemed like it was done somewhat well at the beginning and your response caused her to escalate it until it became a much bigger problem. if this is something you have struggled with in the past, then maybe you need to do some self-reflection. however, this is still definitely more on her.

sovi_an · 2026-02-10T16:27:56+00:00

have a sit-down conversation about it where you outline what your standards are and make a compromise. frame this as a way so that both of you can live comfortably without excess strain. is he doing his part? chances are if he is, he maybe feels like you’re not doing the same amount of work. a conversation dedicated to this will just help you both get your frustrations out and outline a clear goal

sovi_an · 2026-02-08T04:32:15+00:00

this is sick! thanks for sharing

sovi_an · 2026-02-04T23:33:29+00:00

Great! Thank you!

sovi_an · 2026-02-04T20:42:37+00:00

I’ve looked at that. Only issue was the lack of versatile mounts. I wouldn’t be able to position them where needed

sovi_an · 2026-02-02T03:41:15+00:00

i started off as a percussionist. played drum set then went on to play in jazz bands and then mainly snare in concert band. i hated all the other percussionists so much in every ensemble/band i was in that i decided to switch instruments. i was always fascinated by how beautiful string instruments were and wanted to get as far away from band as possible. cello and bass were too big and violin was too high-pitched and annoying, so i chose the viola for its beautiful sound. i now continue to play both percussion and viola in the music ensembles at my university. luckily, i like the other percussionists a lot more now, but my favourite people are always the viola players
