BANK ERROR IN MY FAVOR:

Just found out I am getting $1980 back from my move.

If they make an error each time you move this year then you'll be rich in no time!

MOP math?

the fish

the all of it

 

[Henry Ford]

So, I've had exactly two friend requests on this board since the beginning of time, and they both happened today - MOP and glumpy. What am I supposed to know about glumpy?

it's the yogi kudu wisdom you be spewing about mop's mental state

Oh. He's of the enlightened sort?

No clue. You went next level on them, and they like you now.

that's the problem with Taoism.

Rover do you even like this girl? I can't ever tell.

Were it me, I'd tell her I'm not wasting a babysitter to have a breakup talk. If that's the talk we're having, we can have it now and I'll use my babysitter night to go out with friends. And if it's a talk about anal, less talking and more lubing.

From what little I can gather, it seems like she's a good place to park his schvantz while he waits for the next future ex-wife.

It could be the other talk. Though that's an even better reason to cancel.

There should be a flow chart.

"We need to talk"

"I'm hurt because ___" vs. "I'm not really sure where we're going with this relationship"

and so on.

This seems to encompass all the most likely scenarios. It's not particularly elegant, but I think it works OK. I know the fish aren't great pointers, but they did seem appropriate in this instance.

I think we are on to something here.

there's a deep need for attention that i don't think can possibly be sated if all you ever talk about is how much money you make/have and how much you spend on vacation/travel

In the past week I have ended things with crazy and FWB. They were both trying way to hard to turn things into a relationship, but I've been very clear that wasn't going to happen. Time for some new craziness!

I would never do such a thing, but I did find her address pretty easily. How about having a pizza delivered where "go home, shelby" is spelled out in sausage?

Rethought this. I don't even remember who it is, but somebody on this board lives in my wife's school district. Don't want to get her fired. Suffice to say, they'd rather teachers do nonsense like put up signs talking about rubrics and referring to them all the time rather than actually teach.

And grading a teacher poorly because of a student struggling that has only been in the class for 3 days is craziness.

Having gone through kindergarten with my boys, it's amazing how much it has changed since I was a kid. I think the teacher's main responsibility was to make sure kids took naps and didn't eat the paste.

Me. ****.

After multiple years, she is pretty use to me just getting things done using smoke and mirrors. She has never really witnessed actual effort I guess. Plus she isn't exactly the kind of person to hand out compliments. I thank her mother for that.

"Actual effort" that she recognizes and understands at least.

I do think this is a part of it. Some administrators are going to look at how a teacher teaches, how the students respond to them and how successful the students are. Some are at into metrics and systems and rubrics.

The old administrators were more the former and loved my wife. The new administrators are the latter and that's just not how my wife is wired.

Kindergarten has changed a lot. In my wife's district the kids are able to write full paragraphs and read simple books by the end of the year.

Actually, hilariously, the new state curriculum forced my wife's school to dumb down their program and teach the kids less than they did in years prior.

Education has become more about the paperwork and processes than about good teachers being able to actually teach.

 

[shuke]

It's looking like I'm going to be putting down my 11-year old German Shep today. She's had back leg problems for years now, and they've steadily grown more weak and painful. We thought we'd have to put her down a month ago but she seemed to improve for a while, but now she's not been eating again.

She lives with my ex (I've got an apartment and no yard) who leaves the back door to the house open at night so she can wander in and out as needed. It rained early this morning and she went to check on her and found her lying in the rain in the back yard where she had been last night. She'd never do that if it wasn't too painful for her to get up.

Molly's been the best dog I've ever had. This ####### sucks. :(

Sorry, buddy.

 

[GroveDiesel]

What is Common Core? Saw a couple of people b#tching about it on FB.

It's a generic dumbed down set of standards, curriculum and processes that is being forced on the entire country despite virtually every teacher hating it and zero proof that it benefits students.

It also generally requires volumes of paperwork and administrative stuff.

Here's a video with a sassy black woman and cartoons.

The idea is that every kid in the country will be taught and held to the same standards as every other kid in the country. Instead of different states having different standards (crap every needs to know by the end of each school year) the standards will be "common" throughout America.

Per wiki:

The Common Core State Standards Initiative is an education initiative in the United States that details what K-12 students should know in English language arts and mathematics at the end of each grade. The initiative is sponsored by the National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) and seeks to establish consistent education standards across the states as well as ensure that students graduating from high school are prepared to enter credit-bearing courses at two- or four-year college programs or enter the workforce.[1]
