Tunnel Falls?

Would be even greater with more food vendors next time. The tamale place sold out within a couple hours!

Seattle?

I was parked in my car and thought it was the wind. 😂

What site am I on…

A paddle formation! I love it!

Almost means it’s being cut with something else, and JBS supplies McDonald’s.

Handicapped people are part of us as well.

Hey! It’s me from the other thread. 😂 I actually agree with you here. Looks like we’re in the minority.

I’ve worked similar teachers, I’m not doubting you. I’m sure you work with similar assholes in your profession. It doesn’t make sense to me, however, to be unsympathetic to an entire profession because of negative examples.

I’d be curious to know more about what was required from teachers for this STEM initiative, because I can tell you that as a teacher who actually puts in the work, hates tech in the classroom, etc., I don’t have a bough planning time to keep up with the bare minimum.

I’m from an at-will red state, the same thing happens there. There are crappy teachers everywhere. The contracts have nothing to do with that.

Most teachers are trying to educate their students. If you don’t want tech in the classroom, YOU have to pressure the district/state. They don’t listen to teachers.

Thank you for replying. I’m having the same thoughts. For the price point, I was expecting better functionality. I watched several videos but in person it just doesn’t make sense to me.

No. 😔

Most commercial seafood is flash frozen when caught to kill parasites, regardless of where the product is going.

Please don’t withdraw money from your 401k. The tax penalties are enormous. I did it over a decade ago and I regret it to this day.

In some states you can start teaching with any master’s degree. I would recommend doing that to get a taste of what it’s like to work with today’s children in today’s school systems. I say this as a current teacher. This will also give you an opportunity to observe the school librarian from the periphery and see what that role is actually like in your area. In my area, the librarian is part of the Specials rotation for all grades, and if one Specials teacher isn’t present she takes on extra students or they all combine for PE. She has also been the testing administrator, which means she’s in charge of coordinating the absolute nightmare that is local and state testing. She is also the sped/504 coordinator, which means she’s tracks all those cases, paperwork, schedules the meetings, and attends all the ARDs.

As others have said, the librarian position is one of the first to go when cuts are made.

For all these reasons, I would caution you against withdrawing from your 401K to pursue this at the moment.

Hello, Cutie.

I’m also thinking of transferring to a hybrid program. I miss the classroom dynamic.

I disagree. This conversation is so weird to me because it speaks to how alcohol dependent people and social gatherings have become. If your enjoyment of a social event is influenced by whether or not alcohol is available, that’s concerning. It’s one event, not a lifetime commitment to being sober.
