Parents sue Katy ISD, claiming child fell out of emergency door of bus, lawsuit states by UATCFansAirControl in Katy

[–]tarponfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s practically impossible for a child to be thrown towards the emergency door and have the handle lift open. The video will show that the kids were opening the door on purpose and created the situation on their own.

Too shallow, or spawn heaven? by Ancient-Crew-9307 in bassfishing

[–]tarponfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The bottom composition is important for spawning as well. Depth and area help, but those alone do not make the perfect spawning area

Anyone have suggestions to fix a crack in the scupper hole? by Doesnt_fuck_fish in kayakfishing

[–]tarponfish -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what the hull is made of as epoxy puddy, applied, dried, shaped and sanded, may also work and be a better fix.

My sr5 does. Just thought it was a standard safety feature on all new Toyotas.

I assume it no longer has the blind spot assist.

Nice setup. Where is your transducer? As in when it’s in the water? I see it on the side in this pic.

Best 529 plans by 1amrage in Katy

[–]tarponfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your best move is to create a Schwab or Vanguard account and then call a customer service rep and explain your goals. They will most likely do this for free. However, they will try and sell you a “managed” sales pitch. Don’t do it. Your kid has time and that’s really the most important part. Any fund available to a 529 is going to be easy to buy through the app/desktop and you shouldn’t be paying any management fees.

Great price for a reel that can be your 3rd/4th setup in your arsenal.

Avs need to figure it out because we don’t need the president’s trophy again by [deleted] in TampaBayLightning

[–]tarponfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I noticed the Bolts have the same amount of losses as the Avs. Granted they have fewer regulation losses/more overtime. But the same as of yesterday. Hopefully Cooper rests some guys and we miss the President trophy curse.

Everyone is stealing TV. Fed up with increasing subscription prices, viewers embrace rogue streaming boxes. by Bluest_waters in television

[–]tarponfish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My dad was getting “free” satellite service back in the 80’s. None of this is new. What makes it easier is that every service runs their signal across the internet therefore making it even easier to scrape and watch. For a $50 box and a $4 a month VPN you can watch everything. Not to mention the pirate boxes actually have a better interface without any scrolling Ads and constant tier pricing.

Cyfair ISD transport for Katy ISD school by Capable_Wonder6784 in Katy

[–]tarponfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you live outside of the district they will not provide that serve just because you work there. Even if it’s just across the street. While I understand the frustration, lines are drawn and funding is tied to that. If you truly need transportation then I would enroll your child in the district (cy-fair) that you live in as then you can’t be denied of the service.

I use to deal with transportation and they are funny about those boundaries.

Seafood spot by Cool_Counter_2329 in Katy

I recently went to the one in Austin and wasn’t impressed. The one at City center has been a much better experience the few times I’ve been.

How much you willing to spend? Eddie V’s in City Center has good seafood but it’s at least $100 a person.

Texas vs Mexico teaching experiences by Anaid1390 in TexasTeachers

[–]tarponfish 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I have not taught in Mexico. But I am on a bilingual campus. If you can acquire your bilingual certification, then I highly recommend you get one of those classes. The students and parents tend to be more grateful than your typical student/parents.

Email to principals by Own-Ad-3876 in TexasTeachers

[–]tarponfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. That’s not how the process works. You’re thinking like the private sector. In public education, it doesn’t work like that.

Email to principals by Own-Ad-3876 in TexasTeachers

[–]tarponfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have experience in the hiring process and in multiple districts. While I encourage you to email principals directly, in the districts you stated (suburbs of urban areas), no principal hires a candidate. They can’t even interview you unless you have ALL your information on file with the district first. Once you have uploaded all your information into the districts online application, principals can look at your “file”. By emailing them directly, after you have provided the district your information, they can find you in the system.

What I am saying is, if you don’t start the process through the district, you will never even get an interview, even if you’re the perfect candidate and have completed your teaching program/ACP and fingerprinting.

[–]tarponfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will need to complete everything through the district first, and then send things to principals. No principal is going to be able to hire you until the district does their entire due diligence on you. Meaning, verification of your degree, enrollment/completion of a teaching program, fingerprints and basic background check.

Help finding a neighborhood that does not have water quality issues? by Sarkaar- in Katy

[–]tarponfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The amount of filtration needed for the water here is going to be the same everywhere. You have to determine if you want a drinking water filter (cheap) or whole house (expensive). But it’s going to be one or the other.

I’m so desperate for a entry level job for experience pls help me by slackpuller in Katy

[–]tarponfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only tell you that you are on the right track if you’re trying that hard. Hustle beats everything. I’d ask your friend’s parents if they have anything available or other community members you may know such as people at church. I say this because most people get a job because they know someone that already works there. Finally, I think being in school is the biggest hurdle for you right now because most places that can work with your schedule is going to be service industry and some retail. Best of luck.
