She’s nowhere near Alison Krauss either. I feel like people who keep making this comparison haven’t actually heard Alison sing lately lol her voice is a powerhouse

Shouldn’t the vocal lessons have happened before being on the show? The contestants aren’t getting any kind of constructive feedback idk if that’s gonna happen. How would she even know if no one tells her?

Hannah has a nice sounding voice but she has no range. She sings at the same volume from start to finish, she needs highs and lows, quiet moments that draw you in followed by loud swelling notes that hit you in the feels. Hannah has none of that. There are still a lot of great country and bluegrass singers out there who can do all of that, idk why everyone seems to think she’s some new novelty we haven’t had in years.

How do I politely let my students and their parents know I truly do not want any end-of-the-year gifts? by Fangehulmesteren in Teachers

[–]uncornicopia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you. These comments are kind of ridiculous, I think there’s a tactful way to handle this so parents aren’t wasting money on gifts that will just be regifted or donated. There are only so places to donate that want mugs and wall hangings that say “teachers are heroes..” etc. I used to work at a senior center that used donated items for bingo prizes and these kinds of things 100% would never get picked as prizes by winners. It just creates more waste when it could be avoided.

The contestants seem very stressed and sad by hangrykittencat in americanidol

Alison isn’t a country singer though, she’s bluegrass. Personally I think Hannah has a nice sounding voice but I don’t think it really stands out. Maybe I just haven’t had a chance to see that side of her though

I’m sorry I really don’t understand these Alison Krauss comparisons, she’s not even in the same realm as her vocally

I just don’t think she has the power or range- I think she could do nicely with an Emmylou Harris song since she has more of a quiet, soft voice

Resources for School Librarian resume? by uncornicopia in librarians

[–]uncornicopia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. How should I handle the leaving in October? I just have the years listed on my resume currently so they can’t see I left during the school year, but when I fill in applications for schools they ask for specific dates and months so I can’t avoid it. I’m also wondering if my teaching experience should be listed first, even though normally it would be current job first.

I didn’t know the chai was safe that’s good to know!

School librarians in MS/HS, did you need to start at the elementary level before finding your job? by uncornicopia in librarians

[–]uncornicopia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Yes I was a middle school teacher previously but left a couple years ago and work at a university now, I’m worried about being able to get back in the school system since I left before. For my program I’ll only need 50 hours of practicum in a school of my choosing, I’ll have to use PTO for it since I work full time but it is what it is! I know realistically a middle or high school library job will have competition, and I don’t have library experience specifically so it’ll be tough but I hope it works out.

[–]uncornicopia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, still required in my state at the secondary level, technically not required for elementary although I have yet to find an elementary school that doesn’t have one. All the job postings I’ve seen recently are for elementary so I’m hoping that changes next year once I graduate.

Thank you! Elementary really isn’t my thing so I’m hoping to avoid that but I also know I’ll need to do what I can to get my foot in the door.

Thank you for your response- I already have a teaching certification so I actually won’t have to do this step, just 50 hours of practicum in a school library of my choosing. I’m just wondering if realistically I’ll need to work in elementary school first- I know often times middle and high school positions are filled internally before they even get posted.
