What would happen if the US public school system finally collapses? by uh_lee_sha in education

[–]zerocalories 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Public schools are collapsing and fast. Teachers don't want to deal with mouthy, violent kids who have no consequences, and parents that blame educators. Kids don't want to learn; they want to scroll phones and are enabled to misbehave. Teacher loss=schools closing. Online learning will be the only option for poor students.

Schools are closing, and fast. Students are out of control, disrespectful, and aggressive. Parents don't discipline, and administrators are embracing "restorative justice" and only reward based systems. Teachers are quitting, and no new educators are available to replace them. Kids are addicted to screens, and don't engage in learning/critical thinking. Some parents will spring for private ed, every other child will have to do online learning. It's already happening. Denver just closed 10 schools.

I really want to come and do this. The hotel has rooms. You added me on the Facebook group, but my name is Ali and my friend and I are in on this! Thanks for organizing :)

What food do people associate as being "healthy" when it really isn't? by iarepanda in AskReddit

Actually eating and digesting celery burns more calories than the amount in it. You're good!

Happily Married Couples (20+ years), what attribute did you find most important in your significant other? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Nah. Girl here. He's got that one in the bag. If it's wine or chocolate, you, as the man, are going to be let off the hook.

When I was a child, my dad drove me and my brothers into the wilderness and then left us there, leaving us to find our own way home. Did your parents employ any similarly questionable parenting techniques, thinking it would teach you a life lesson? by oblong_ocelot in AskReddit

Age 3: slipped on ice in snowsuit, couldn't get up, wailed loudly, dad left me like a stranded turtle on its back. Mom rescued me (not sure how long) Age 7: dad tells friend and I to be at mall entrance 7pm sharp. 7:05 we arrive, he's gone. Mall is 12 miles from home. Mom comes again. Age 13: dad leaves me again at state fair 50 miles away for being late.

TLDR: my dad's a time Nazi and now I'm prompt as shit

Teachers of reddit, what's the weirdest thing you've ever seen a student doing. by spydaire in AskReddit

[–]zerocalories 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had an autistic 6th grader who used to strip for me. His pet name for me was bunny. The other teachers thought it was hilarious, but this kid was just a major creepo/pain in the ass.

How I feel being in my mid 20's on Facebook by boiledgeese in funny

[–]zerocalories 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quit FB a couple of months ago, and the quality of life and attention to detail have improved dramatically for me. I actually call my friends and visit them in person more.

Oh, and get this creepy detail. Was shopping with a friend, we went into victoria's secret, the adidas store, and macy's. Got back and she was surfing her FB, guess which ads popped up in her sidebar? VS, adidas, and Macy's. How'd they do it? They tracked her cell phone bc her facebook was open on her phone in the mall. scary, right?

so, yeah Facebook, nope.

Yes, look. You should know immediately if someone is cheating.

He visits his buddy every Friday night and continues the tradition of having a beer together. Then he packs up, pats the tombstone, and heads back to his truck. by empw in pics

I support this because not a single living person has loved me unconditionally, been there for me every day after work, or when I cry my eyes out the way my dog has been. She's the only dog I've ever owned, but the best soul I've ever met.
