That is revolting. It is one thing if she is going outside to get a dirty water dog everyday. That is sick but in the correct, NY kind of way. This sounds like she has a pack of hotdogs in a minifridge in her office and she is microwaving them.
Engineers need to look at this and let it motivate them to unionize and build co-ops. You know the people working on this project loved it, that they wouldn’t have abandoned it of their own accord. There is no way that whatever bullshit their paymasters have them on now is as spiritually fulfilling as working on the Star Trek visor, making a genuine attempt to improve people’s lives and engender technological optimism.
I think the raven’s bigger problem is that they are just too weak. Humans aren’t very strong by animal standards but we are strong enough to break wood and rocks. How would a raven ever get past the stone age. You’d need an entire flock of ravens with stone axes to fell a tree.
at the same time though, libs were claiming their canvassers were asking the GOP men in households to speak to their democrat voting wives and getting rebuffed.
I had to keep teaching online (kindergarten) during the lockdown in Shanghai. The online teaching tools provided were a little rough at the start but got better over the course of the lockdown (and after I set up dozens of macros to manage the class, and eventually some OBS gimmicks). Major difference between what I saw and what American teachers saw was supervision during class time. Almost everyone lives with their grandparents. I had to constantly beg grandma and grandpa to stop answering for students, stop hand feeding students during class so they could answer, to wear clothes during class, to tell their grandchild to wear clothes during class. My students all met academic goals pretty close to their normal ones. The only thing that was really hard to teach was tracing and copying for the computer kids, but the tablet kids did okay.
I lived in Shanghai for the lockdown. We were really inside for 3 months, not allowed to leave our apartment complex except for a daily test at the local school. To get out of the lockdown you would have had to jump over a 10 foot gate and people did to buy cigarettes on the black market. About two months in I found a man online that was delivering some expat foods (the government declared foreign foods nonessential) to expats. I bought a baguette. That man was arrested.
KOSA had bipartisan support
Genuinely fascinating that this was built. I feel like anyone could have told the architect that this structure is off-putting, even scary. No one has ever had nightmares about the Bean. NYC really needed the staircase from Pathologic?
If it is anything like my old state, NY, you can ignore a lot of the standards. Over specificity means extremely low number of test questions on that standard and low variety in the test questions when they show up.
The fact that TPT exists in the way that it does is baffling. We spend so much on education, the federal government or a large state could just buy TPT, run it at cost. New teachers are swamped by the need to develop a curriculum, lesson plans, and make materials and those are all things a government would be good at providing. Why does every teacher need to reinvent the wheel.
Testing random students daily would be a lower workload than what was expected the previous school I worked at where I had to test all students daily.
Nope, the classroom part is easy. Even if the kids are annoying, most of them will learn. But most importantly the amount of energy you can spend in each class is capped. It is, at worst, 45 minutes of walking and yelling. And admin very rarely watches the classes. They are out of their element in the classes. They just want to see the lesson plans and their expectations for those lesson plans are infinite and bizarre, 6+ pages per 45 minute class, timed to the minute, all content squeezed into a spreadsheet where most columns only have one word and one column has paragraphs, mandatory template looks like shit so they always have something to complain about.
I’m an overseas American and I am not voting because it would be a bizarre waste of time. Not only would I be voting by mail in a solidly blue state but if votes by mail ever determined an election there would be a coup.
IMO the app Everything is necessary if you want to search through your files on Windows 11. Typing in the name of a program I know I have and the first item being “web search” drove me nuts.
I think the folks who gave me some books can have a camping trip in a marsh.
The teacher is hoping the rest of the class will socially punish the disrupting student in some way. They are doing this because teacher have no means of punishing students other than this and scolding.
Thank you, I did immediately think to relisten
Feels like this will encourage some pretty weird posting habits. If the block doesn’t stop them from seeing you it means you can abuse people and block them, and be reasonably confident they can see that abuse, and cannot respond back.
It is wild how this describes like HUNDREDS of our politicians.
