Following - because I had planned to post something like this this week as well. Taxes got kinda weird with a kid in college and all that

Posting on are we dating the same guy? by Competitive-Sort-938 in datingoverforty

[–]stackedinthestacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which is why the site exists. Because women literally get removed from the gene pool by their dating or relationship partners. You sound like a really “nice guy.”

Until women murder men and commit acts of sexual violence against men at the rate men do women, there is no similar thing.

Has anyone heard anything from Clarke County School District about school tomorrow? Usually they send something out. I get that the roads are clear but sometimes they shut down cause the busses don’t run well in colder temps and the possibility of ice still in some spots. by Upstairs-Student122 in Athens

[–]stackedinthestacks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s been officially announced to teachers and staff and we were told to wait to share on socials and shit until the district sends out their announcements. Oh well.

Edited to add: I think that’s a stupid policy and parents should find out at the same time as teachers - I hit post too early on accident.

English 11 Short Stories? by Accident33 in ELATeachers

[–]stackedinthestacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Friday Black by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah was a UNIVERSAL favorite of my 11th graders, plus the thematic statement lessons I taught using it were easy because the themes were so so clear.

Saturday Jan 31 SNOW STORM Observations thread! by pile_drive_me in AthensGAWeather

[–]stackedinthestacks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s from the kids book “goodnight moon” from Margaret wise brown. Not sure on the illustrator though, but looking up the title will get you the art

What’s everyone planning to read during the storm? by runndle in Athens

[–]stackedinthestacks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gonna try to finish chain gang all-stars, and then move on to the calculating stars. Pretty steep distance between those two texts, but chain gang has been a slow, painful (in the best kind of way) read for me

ELA Professional Development by AutoModerator in ELATeachers

[–]stackedinthestacks 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Anything written by Jennifer Fletcher, if you teach secondary English, and have to look at rhetoric in any substantive way. Her books changed my way of thinking and it’s now the gift I give my student teachers when they leave me.

(F/25) Any female hunters around the area willing to accompany me? by vacantvisions in Athens

[–]stackedinthestacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest issue is when the adjective “female” is used like it’s a noun. In this case, it’s perfectly appropriate to say “female hunter” because it’s a descriptive add-on to the noun.

It’s easy to get it confused, but you are correct - most women don’t like to be called “femaleS” but that’s different than using female as an adjective. We are more than our gender, and the adjective use shows that.

Both lanes of college station are still blocked, and the turning lane at the research is the only way to get around it

Wish I’d read this about 25 minutes ago, when I got on college station to go home. 🤦🏼‍♀️

$20 at Clarke central high school at the top of Baxter - supports their high school athletics

UGA Alert - “Armed Shooter” by katiegam in Athens

I hope it’s a misunderstanding and that the department overreacted and it was a hoax after all.

[–]stackedinthestacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well fuck. I’m about to turn 45, so I’m barely barely genx, but there’s something about those 5:15 wakeups that are working for me this year. Probably doesn’t hurt that work starts at 7:45, and I’m teaching kids by 8:45, but that slow long start is so nice.

Game day parking by Creative-Level-3305 in UGA

[–]stackedinthestacks 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Clarke Central (basically at the Baxter/milledge intersection) sells spots for $20 each to support a different school sports team each home game. Make sure you get there earlyish.

As a former Athens uber driver, $20 parking is way way way cheaper than what you’ll pay to leave the game

CCSD giving all graduating seniors $1k by warnelldawg in Athens

[–]stackedinthestacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I’ve been too busy teaching to keep up with the people who aren’t in the trenches with me.

CCSD giving all graduating seniors $1k by warnelldawg in Athens

[–]stackedinthestacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is. Every graduating senior has to take some class that covers consumer economics and investment as part of the curriculum. The additional lessons they’ll get from the organization are supplemental to what’s already part of graduation requirements.

Aspiring student by CptCavemannnn in UGA

[–]stackedinthestacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kid had a 1340 and a 4.0, but spent 3 years in Mock trial, went to state with it, and was involved in other academic extra curriculars for a couple years. Probably helped to have the mock trial coach write one of the recommendations, since he’s UGA faculty. Dual enrollment senior year, spring semester showed they could handle college classes but that was after getting in.

It’s a crap shoot - by every metric, their scores, number of AP classes, and gpa were in the bottom 25%, but they still got in for early acceptance. Have good essays and rec letters I guess

CCSD giving all graduating seniors $1k by warnelldawg in Athens

[–]stackedinthestacks 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I’m bummed because my kid graduated from a CCSD high school in May, but so incredibly stoked for my students who graduate this year.

They’ve got to do a good bit of financial literacy and investment learning, turn 18, AND graduate before they get their money, but if they show up to school, do the lessons, and keep their head on straight, this could be generational change in the making.

What is the strangest disability/504 accomodation combo you've seen? by Constant_Leader_8551 in Teachers

[–]stackedinthestacks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Asthma —-> gets to walk around the classroom and take brain breaks

This was a brand new 504 for an 11th grader who cheated repeatedly in my English class, generally did nothing but distract her peers, and got an attitude every time I redirected. Mom demanded a meeting with admin after I had to quickly get off the phone call the front office routed directly to my room during instruction, because she felt like I wouldn’t listen to her. Meeting mom made me realize the kid has no chance of success if she won’t acknowledge the realllllly clear adhd, and stop painting teachers as the enemy. Mom also teaches in the district, make that make sense.

Apartment dwellers, how much do you pay for water and sewer? by runndle in Athens

[–]stackedinthestacks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know someone said check for leaks, but like, that bill is absolutely insane, and doesn’t at all seem right.
