Some of the stupid stuff people complain about infuriates me. If a kid is hungry/thirsty, then I let them eat or drink in my class as long as they throw their stuff away. I currently have a kid in class who spent all of last week at a homeless shelter, and I'm just trying to get her to graduate. I'm sorry that your students are like 15 seconds to your class and roll their eyes occasionally...10 years ago I had to make a CPS call about a mom using her 13 year old as a drug mule. I can wholeheartedly agree with this post. I'm in my 26th year of teaching. DON'T DO THE MATH! You'll be wrong as I was in the military and on the Delta House college plan. I've had so many kids in class that I know are having serious issues outside of the classroom, and far too often there is little to no communication about the circumstances that kids are facing. With regards to food in the classroom, I have no problem with it at all. Every week or two, I make a trek to Big Lots or Ollies and load up on granola bars, poptarts, Cliff bars, pretzels, cheese curls (usually from the 1/2 off section....scored 6 boxes of Cliff bars last week for $18. I do read through our data on powerschool regarding food allergies with my kids, but I'm not shy about making sure they've got something to snack on if needed. I do tell them a true story about my summer job that I had for 15 years. I taught summer school government, and it was a great gig. 6 weeks, you had the kids 4 hours a day, and they paid you for an extra planning hour. (Different district) Each hour the kids had a 10 minute break to stretch their legs. They were supposed to stay in the building, but inevitably they'd sprint across the street to McDonalds, BK, or next door to the Mickey Mart. After one break, I heard the teacher in the next room YELL, "What in the hell do you think you're doing?" It piqued my curiosity. I poked my head in the door, and one of her kids had run to the grocery next door, and had gone to the deli and bought a whole roasted chicken. She kicked him out of class, so he sat in the hallway for an hour smashing a chicken. (not a euphemism). So, I tell my kids, I don't mind what you bring in to snack on, but if it has bones, or requires a knife and fork, or more than 3 wetnaps, then we need to not bring it into class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reginaldm9 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 The swagger open casket funeral is the worst thing I’ve seen in my days as a Browns fan. The owners should be absolutely embarrassed for being such publicity seeking losers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DOG HAS BEEN DEAD FOR 2 WEEKS AND THEY'RE HAVING A OPEN CASKET SERVICE. They knew the poor thing had cancer so it’s not like they were caught off guard by this potentially happening.

candyman93 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Tyson fury is a monster. I’ve never seen a boxer just pull a 180 in their strategy for a rematch after winning the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruceb Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Just had the opportunity to watch a multi-million dollar condo structure about .2 miles from my house across I-90 go completely and at times explosively go up in flames. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruceb Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Bizarre but the same land previously had a house that I watched a swat team supported by federal agents bust because it was a meth lab not long ago before it was razed for the condo structure. Do not think I would invest in that land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucketheadsdad Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Closing in on 1600 downloads for my podcast in less than 2 months. (Also hit 1,000 downloads from Australia today.) I am absolutely stunned. I am so thrilled that people have decided to spend some of their precious time to listen to my show. This week's episode tied in how David Stern actually helped to save the sport in the mid 1980's. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only worse I ever have seen was a Forest City lumber store on the SE corner of Lorain and W. 150th. All I know for sure is that I was < 11. I couldn't get within 1,000 ft. of it because of the heat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
