@FixingEducation I’ll take 1, 3, and 4!

I sweardagawd, AT&T does not abide by the same principles of math as the rest of the humankind. Every time I have to get a new plan, the monthly payment is NEVER what they (and the math) say it’ll be!! So frustrating!

Things I found in my kids’ bathroom sink today: a sticker, a bandaid, and a whole, uncooked kernel of corn. WTH?

@CoachAGochis @AlienSteveT Exactly! I think lecturing and note taking is important. I hit the highlights in my lectures (history teacher). This method captures the three learning methods—visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Plus worksheets. “If you throw enough mud at the wall, something is bound to stick.

When you see a mouth-watering stew recipe on FB, so you make it and immediately realize this food is waaaay too colorful for your kids to want to eat it…

Pretty cool feeling when one of the kids I taught and coached a few years ago comes back and gets hired on with us as a teacher and coach!

@CoachSwit Sorry you’re getting some hate on here. Everyone gripes about how terrible a lot of travel team coaches are, as far pitching kids too much and chasing trophies, but you’re doing it absolutely right! People are nuts! Keep doing what you’re doing, Coach!

@bmac_22 Love what she does, but to be fair, I’ve watched her smile like that during EVERY at-bat, even when she’s 0-for. Great players who have great attitudes and gratitude always come in clutch!

@KevinSnyder71 Congrats and enjoy!

Well, since OSU and OU aren’t in the #WCWS this year, who do I root for? Keep it in the Big 12 or root for the unranked underdog?

I think I gotta go with Mississippi State—“AN UNDERDOG IS STILL A DOG!”

My nose after blowing it 50-11 times a day for the past week. Allergies are killing me!

The book of Leviticus is already a tough read on content alone, but it’s like the writer had a minimum word count he had to meet because there is so much repetition.

Not that I necessarily want it, but it kinda grinds my gears when you pay for something, and the change is a few cents, and they don’t even offer it back to you.

@cecegkh And the ones who don’t do anything are still failing.

[Mike Orcutt @_MikeOrcutt_]

@cecegkh My school explained it like this: the difference in every letter grade is 10 percentage points (from A to B, C to D), but zeros are 60 points from a D, so it drastically skews the grades. And I don’t disagree with that. I replaced all 0s for 50s and now almost all are passing.

Me: fills in to drive one bus route with 3 weeks of school left.

Every little kid on said bus: “Are you our new bus driver?”

@FixingEducation Finishing up my 11th year. Enjoyment is a 9. I do it for the kids who wanna be here, but I get the most fulfillment by being here for the marginalized kids who have no one (or very little) at home.

UMUC—University of Maryland University College. No one can convince me this is real.

Without googling, can you name a fictional college?
