@grandma_sus@Garisdacar@hankgreen sending you love and support on that journey, I know its a hard one -- I hope you find the resources you need to quite and help with the challenges that got you started
@hankgreen It boggles my mind-lost my dad to lung cancer in 2018, about 10 years after he'd quit, but the damage was done (he'd smoked since he was a kid). There are resources out there: if you smoke, please quit. Someone out there desperately wants you around as long as they can have you.
@educatingsped Sometimes PD is an eye opening about the job. I’ve got a friend who moved states to take another job and at PD learned the job was nothing like they told them in the interview.
Probably spent too much in my desire to avoid going on a school night, but Mike & I are going to @HamiltonMusical in MKE this October and I’m not sure which of us is more excited!
@cheddy_cpc @TheOGPhrosty2 @HanerTara@abbynormansays@KevinMKruse Since I started we have gotten, if lucky, CPI. And several times after the subsequent increase in insurance, I took home less than the year before.
@SciShowTangents I know we’ve made a lot of advancements in surgical technology and tools over the years, but are there any tools used today that are basically the same as those used hundreds of years ago?
@MissNGrace I teach 9-12th grade (14-18 year olds generally) and yes, I do sometimes on tests or just to note how far students got on a practice assignment before I go through it. They get pretty excited about it anytime I use them!
@realcorndogjoe Our library does crafts for adults and kids and did take home crafts during lockdown for both. Libraries are treasures. Our school library has all sorts of lego sets and things for students when they need down time.
@TEDTalks@MonicaLewinsky ‘s TED talk is one of the most powerful, humanizing, eye opening, important videos I can imagine, especially in today’s internet culture
@TheCrashCourse I remember watching World History as it first came out and using the episode on the Ag Revolution when I student taught in the fall of 2012. I still use it, and many other episodes, every year!
@anthroreviewed From the depths of this exhausted teacher’s heart, thank you John. This is one of the things helping me push through the end of an exceptionally heartbreaking, challenging year
@amberjans@GlobalTom @AnaMardoll Yes to this. I grew up with an beloved great uncle who survived polio with leg and arm braces and diminished heart capacity—he was incredible but should have never had to suffer that.
