@comradempp @Val55731242 @514baby NCAA yes, if they're good enough to get NIL deals. CHL no, but all expenses are paid so any money their parents give them is theirs to blow on stupid stuff.

@JamesAFurey I mean, it's probably a choice and/or a school culture. I worked at one school where 90% of the teachers left by 3:30 and did work in the evenings, after their kids were asleep. At another school, 90% stayed until 5 or 5:30pm. There's certainly work to do, but not a crazy amount.

@bowtiedmeathead "since she doesn’t play sports we don’t get a chance to spend that quality time together" is your problem. When you have kids, you do what they're interested in. My daughter and I have been taking guitar lessons together for 3 years - I have to practice like crazy to keep up.

@slimvnsn Is this AI? It's such a weird take. Kids say stuff like this all the time. It's not lying, and all you have to do is ask them a question or two to find out what really happened. Calling the daycare director that night would be a crazy reaction.

@keiii_ell I work in an elementary school, and this kid is at least 10, probably 11 or 12. Definitely old enough to have crushes and understand what she's talking about.

@greg_price11 Found not guilty - they didn't have enough evidence to convict. Not "innocent".

@hellspatisserie I didn't stick with psychoanalysis long enough to say it really helped, but it was very validating to have someone help me process my life as a whole, rather than just asking what's stressing me out this week and suggesting that I breathe & exercise more.

@ayalanyan I was raised and taught by very smart women, so a lot of CBT is just stuff I picked up from them as a kid. In grad school, I thought it seemed way too basic to be helpful for anyone. Turns out I was wrong and other people's moms didn't get them to hypothesis test on the daily.

@Baalren @uncledoomer Do you even know any teachers? They're among the most empathetic people in the world, working themselves to burnout because they care so much about the kids they teach. Apart from a few bad apples, they're incredibly kind and hard-working.

@13mnwild Sweating clears out your pores, and these guys shower like 3x/day.

@ElizaWallace27 Our middle school students all have a "homeroom" teacher who teaches them either math & science or English & social studies. I don't think it would be a waste of time for that teacher to make contact with ~25 parents after a few weeks of school to check in.

[Kent @Kent50474263]

@BettyBlue168 Agreed. "Strong sense of justice" often means failing to see the situation from all angles, understand the complexities, consider the context, and keep things in perspective.

[Kent @Kent50474263]

@shaggyhuh @gowonmode Yea, there are definitely some high school girls who conspire to intentionally exclude other girls, but it sounds like this was just kids minding their own business and not going out of their way to include someone they didn't even know.

[Kent @Kent50474263]

@upshine3 We do. The parents don't believe us.

[Kent @Kent50474263]

@NielsHoven But letter names are not ignored? They're used constantly in handwriting and spelling lessons. And you'd need to teach a lot more than a few letter names, unless you literally only mean in preschool for like CVC words and would teach letter names when you start to teach spelling?

[Kent @Kent50474263]

@JonDinosaur @luxemiaa "Truancy" isn't really a concept that exists here. A welfare check would only be done if the child has been absent for weeks, the parent didn't tell the school the child would be absent, and the parent doesn't answer their phone.

[Kent @Kent50474263]

@C_Hendrick Well yea, these are middle and high school students who've been staring at their iPads and phones their whole life. The goal isn't an immediate rise in test scores - it's improving these kids' lives overall by reducing their reliance on screens for self-entertainment.

[Kent @Kent50474263]

@KeruboSk Yep, I work with autistic kids and I'm always surprised when a student *doesn't* have significant coordination problems. I think 3 on my current caseload (of 24) have age-appropriate overall motor skills, and another 2 or 3 have strong gross motor skills and only poor fine motor.
