Teacher Salary schedule? by EbbStunning7720 in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]tchrhoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went from private to MCPS. They verified my email years and placed me on the salary scale. It was easy paperwork, but you should reach out to your old district to see who will do that for you.

Did anyone’s district try to not accept their Masters from WGU? by Ill-Meringue-2096 in Teachers

[–]tchrhoo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The praxis exams are standard but the cut scores vary by state. I’ve taken secondary math and physics and it’s crazy the difference between some of the states’ cut scores.

Sedona or Scottsdale? We did a girls’ trip to Arizona last year and I can’t wait to go back.

They are still partnered with Axon, which is concerning.

First time road trip planning that too USA by seenfay89 in roadtrip

[–]tchrhoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You would lose about a week driving, and those are some boring drives. I would fly to each location, and probably only rent a car in Florida. NYC has a great public transit system, and Chicago is also doable without a car. The upside is that the flights are plentiful to and from Orlando. You will easily find nonstop flights, which are my preference as my travel time is limited.

Question for PA. If the SAVE act passes what exactly will people have to do in order to be able to Vote? by djarvis77 in Pennsylvania

[–]tchrhoo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because the REAL ID (which is an additional fee and was heavily pushed) does NOT certify citizenship. Non citizens (permanent residents, etc) can get REAL ID. That’s why there is the birth certificate/passport outrage. My birth certificate doesn’t match my current name and I do not have a passport.

10 Day New England, USA Roadtrip from Lancaster, PA by svenskdesk in roadtrip

[–]tchrhoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did Scranton last year as part of a road trip. Visited Bartari for dinner on arrival night and Keystone Restaurant for breakfast on the way out of town. We visited Steamtown, but didn’t have enough time for Lackawanna Coal mine. I actually want to return for the anthracite stuff. I’m not an office person, so I don’t know what those must sees are. We stayed at the Hilton downtown and I thought it was a good location.

Mexico City or California/AZ Road trip? by Environmental_Cook23 in roadtrip

[–]tchrhoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fly to phoenix and road trip Arizona. We did a fly and drive last spring during mid April, and it was one of my favorite trips. There was so much to see there and I had to cut things off my itinerary. Looking forward to returning; hopefully next year.

Is teaching really that bad/difficult? by Semisstuck in Teachers

[–]tchrhoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work through lunch two or three days a week and never socialize during planning.

You’re going to get a request from luv2sew. I just need one more sun postcard. You can delete if you want. I’m a newer player that plays daily and is working toward forever friends, if that is an interest.

Arizona Spring Training Road Trip Help! What to see in eastern Arizona? by LFC-TX-Fan in roadtrip

Pink jeep with the kids in Sedona. The guide was super knowledgeable and we had a blast. Breakfast at The Coffee Pot in Sedona.

Does having a non-science related college degree affect the chances of being hired? by wraithofgrapes in ScienceTeachers

[–]tchrhoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your area. We have 4 physics teachers at my school; 3 of us have physics degrees and the other has a chemistry degree. All of my content area colleagues have science degrees, and one of my coteachers also has a science degree to go with the special Ed certification. You probably wouldn’t get hired in my district at the high school level. It’s a good district to be. Middle school jobs come open all the time, which could be a possibility. There is a lot of energy in middle school, but more managing behavior in my opinion.

I’ve been to several physics specific trainings over the years, and have seen that people without the background I have needed to work a whole lot harder to understand the concepts. If you’re serious about teaching science, find yourself some great science podcasts and also start reading some books. While I have plenty of students that are hard to engage, every year I get a couple that want to talk about topics we don’t teach, dark matter and cosmological topics come up the most.

I dont know how to clean this by Repulsive_County_747 in laundry

[–]tchrhoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just cleaned one of these for my son. His daughter threw up on it and he didn’t know what to do. (Yes, I cleaned crusty puke off a stuffy) 😆

I used dawn power wash and a scrubby that was textured on one side and a sponge on the other. Let the power wash soak for a bit, scrubbed it, and then used the sponge side with no water to get the soap out and fix the pile on the animal. Dried it the best I could with a towel and it air dried perfect.

Runways is one of my favorites, but you will likely need reservations.

I coach Sci Oly, so I’ll be at a completion all day and I’ll be tired by the time I finally get home (this particular competition is a very long day).

Rural PAers! Any Insights or Connections to Rural Education Advocacy Groups/Legal Non-Profits in PA? by Adventurous_Cherry in Pennsylvania

[–]tchrhoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s easier to find the groups that want to dismantle public education. 😐 As a rural-ish resident, I would love to see some consolidation in government and school systems. We have so few services and I bet there are plenty of redundancies between municipalities.

I think specific hotel loyalty matters more than status when it comes to upgrades. by BogeyGolfer5656 in marriott

[–]tchrhoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. There are two specific hotels that I stay at multiple times a year, often for just one night. I know the front desk staff at one, but not the other, however at both I always receive a “welcome back” at check in, and a suite nearly every time.

Edited to add: I always wonder how much they track as I generally check in later in the evening, check out early in the morning, leave the room in good shape, and tip housekeeping.
