[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

I am a repo man. I take cars from people who don't pay their bills. It’s a dirty job, but it pays the rent. Last night, I had an order for a 2015 Honda. I found it parked in front of a run-down apartment complex. I backed my truck up and hooked it. A woman came running out in her pajamas. She wasn't screaming. She was begging. "Please," she sobbed. "I have a job interview tomorrow at 8 AM. If I don't get that job, we lose the apartment. It's my only way out." She looked at the car, then at the baby seat in the back. I looked at my paperwork. The bank pays me $300 per car. I looked at her face. She looked like she was drowning. I lowered the car back down. I unhooked the chains. "The transmission on my truck just jammed," I lied. "I can't tow you tonight. It’ll take me at least 24 hours to get this fixed." She stopped crying. She realized what I was doing. "Thank you," she whispered. "Go get that job," I told her. "And park around the block tomorrow night." I called the bank and told them I couldn't locate the vehicle. I lost $300. But I slept like a baby. People are more important than policy.

Ok my fellow Senior Friends, who doesn’t like to save some money 💵

FYI EVERYONE!!!
I heard a guy ask for his senior discount @ Wendy's, The girl at the register apologized and charged him less. When I asked the man what the discount was, he told me that seniors over age 55 ...get 10% off everything on the menu, every day. (But you need to ASK for your discount.)

This incident prompted me to do some research, and I came across a list of restaurants, supermarkets, department stores, travel deals and other types of offers giving various discounts with different age requirements. I was actually surprised to see how many there are and how some of them start as young as 50.

This list may not only be useful for you, but also friends and family, too.

Dunkin Donuts gives FREE coffee to people over 55. If you're paying for a cup every day, you might want to start getting it FREE.

@BSStanley12 So bad. And the wet cameras?!? Smh

@CrazyVibes_1 Jim Henson made puppets and was told he would go nowhere with them. Believe in yourself and keep being you!!!

If your kid doesn't know their math facts COLD, they can't do upper division math

Learning math facts ages 10+ is possible but kids' brains are more receptive when less than 8 (yes, really)

I know you don't want to... but your kid NEEDS you to help them learn math facts♥️

[URStatSignif @JohnsonTerp]

@Rothmus Empathy, strong work-ethic, and morality

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

The “just teach” crowd has no idea…

[URStatSignif @JohnsonTerp]

@smorrisey @Eduventuring04 @MsMurph_ You should see the difference in the math test questions.

[URStatSignif @JohnsonTerp]

@AllisonETEC 💯 I'm a HS math teacher and it amazes me how many kids can't do 2 x 3 without a calculator. How can I teach upper level math without any number sense?!? 🤔

To add, I tutor MS kids and the first 15 minutes we do multiplication facts drills.

[URStatSignif @JohnsonTerp]

@FixingEducation Students calling other students "try hards" as an insult. Why, yes, they do try hard and as a result will do more with their life.

[URStatSignif @JohnsonTerp]

@educator4ever36 Forgot to add that his therapist has said that the chaos and bullying was really bad last year. In sessions, he has opened up about it and has started healing from the trauma. I can not imagine the pain and hurt he went through. 💔

[URStatSignif @JohnsonTerp]

@educator4ever36 My child has trauma from his experience in chaotic classrooms last year in a public middle school. He's now in a structured private school, undergoing therapy and thriving!

In a nutshell…

[URStatSignif @JohnsonTerp]

@laurapatranella @SciInTheMaking Yes, we have this service! It's wonderful if you're planned at least a week out.

[URStatSignif @JohnsonTerp]

@Beanie0597 Having at least one of each of these students in a class of 32 it is impossible to differentiate teaching daily. When I do direct instruction I can monitor and see who needs extra help. It is the best way to reach them all.

[URStatSignif @JohnsonTerp]

@FixingEducation Our school has told us we cannot give 0s without 2-way parent communication. I have 150 kids and most of them will miss 1 HW or more. I don't have time for all this communication. Our only other choice is to give 50%. Smh

[URStatSignif @JohnsonTerp]

@CraigVanbebber @sage_stage I have been in a similar situation. I get you want to help this kid and I agree, he probably has some things going on in his life BUT I have 149 other students during the day. I don't have time or training to counsel this student. I do care, but I can't do it all. 💔

[URStatSignif @JohnsonTerp]

@ModestTeacher No cell phones

[URStatSignif @JohnsonTerp]

@cmoss23 @FixingEducation 💯 If the general public/parents knew what was going on, they'd be sick. As a teacher, my friends don't even believe me when I tell them school stories. The masking is unbelievable. We need to invite parents to be substitute teachers.
