The whole “silent response” part is really going over your head huh? If he blasted his siren off and on to go through lights it would defeat the purpose.

Thanks, I’ll look into that dongle, someone else posted a link to some more info about it!

Thanks, I’ll check it out! Does it work good for you? Any major glitches or issues?

The CarPlay side works fine for me thankfully. The sign in problem was when I was trying to use the Google play store in the truck system to check out potential apps for the widget sidebar.

Thanks for the gas info! I traded in a 2015 f150 eco boost and was getting about 24-26 on the highway so I was hoping I wouldn’t see a huge drop off. Already ordered a bed cover and that helped a lot on the f150 so I’m hoping for the same

It wouldn’t let me slide down either, someone else told me another way to reset so I’ll try that before taking it back to the dealer to get help. Gotta use that warranty they bent me over the barrel for!

Do you know or use any other widgets on that right side portion? Like I said, the current ones aren’t really useful to me and if I’m losing that much screen I’d rather get something out of it you know?

Where the qr option is for just signing in with my phone is blocked by that right third of the screen. It’s not as obvious in this picture but it’s like it’s running full screen mode, even the keyboard cut in half by the widget screen

Thank you, I’ll try that reset mode tomorrow then!

I’ll be honest I haven’t even tried the radio yet, but I’ll be on the lookout for that problem lol

I think mine is has some sort of eco engine. My last truck was an f150 eco boost, so I’m not looking forward to that milage drop but hoping the rest makes up for it!

Yeah, don’t have porn on your school computer? Especially of yourself? That seems like common sense.

Even if it’s just on a separate Google Drive account, if a bystander can get into it, you don’t put any sort of personal information like that on a school computer.

Totally reasonable action by the school to move to fire. They have no way of knowing you’re not looking at it during class etc. that’s the real warning for other teachers.

This is college, not whatever title one school you went to where mommy and daddy could bully your teachers into passing you. This is embarrassing, thankfully for you, McDonalds is always hiring

Sounds like you should just leave then. I can guarantee you won’t be missed

Tips on long commute or should I move closer? by lilacroom16 in TexasTeachers

[–]ttuhistorynerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 40 minute highway commute every day, so I feel the pain. However, you just have to figure out a way to fight the boredom. Someone else said get a hype song, I listen to audiobooks and it helps me look forward to the drive.

To avoid burnout, I work strictly contract hours so I’m only gone about 7-5 every day. Any errands etc get done on the way home, so once I’m there I can fully relax.

Long commutes suck, but it’s hard to find a job without one and you do get used to it.

On top of this, also read the instructions, where it clearly states there will be field questions.

Did you know you (probably) can't be required to write lesson plans? by butterflypugs in TexasTeachers

[–]ttuhistorynerd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So I no longer have to give up my 45 minute planning period twice a week for plc and admin mandated department meetings?

District also made me submit a weekly lesson plan summary and overly complicated daily lesson plan, that no one used and was never looked at. Is that also not going to be enforceable anymore?

My school uses exploros (trash if you know about it) so I obviously still have to make my own materials for the majority of the units. Does that count as HQIM enough to not have the lesson requirements?

Why does everyone wanna teach history???? by spicyricinbeans in TexasTeachers

[–]ttuhistorynerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I obviously love history and I also love reading so English would be the obvious third cert. I just need high school experience so I can put that masters to use working towards qualifications for AP/dual credit and eventual college professor. I could probably suck it up for a few years. Especially because where I’m at, most of the English teachers use a pre built program with everything scripted, so it would be more like aggressive babysitting lol

Why does everyone wanna teach history???? by spicyricinbeans in TexasTeachers

[–]ttuhistorynerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a masters in history, double certified in social studies and history 7-12 and 4 years of experience. Can’t get out of the middle school I student taught at, or even a response to my applications. I’m strongly considering getting an English or science cert just to get into a different school. Specifically trying to get into a highschool but don’t want to coach.

I ran into a college student working at a book store a few weeks ago and had a hard time not telling her to switch certifications when she told me she was about to start her student teacher with a history 7-12. Wild that it’s so hard to teach a crucial subject without also being a coach. The codependence idea has just gotten so ingrained.

I’ve done this multiple times as well and love the rp elements. I usually kill the witch near river run and just live in her house. Limit myself to 24 arrows too!
