I have teachers in my family also. The one's I know work hard. I'm sure the teachers you know work hard too. We both know there are teachers that do not work hard. I have no problem with a teacher if they are working hard but let's face it, the American education system puts them up against it. Not enough pay, too many students, poor conditions in the classroom etc. Then put on top of that having to teach kids who aren't even in the same room as you. The pandemic has drastically put both students and teachers behind the 8-ball when it comes to quality education and many are chosing to check out. That should come as no suprize, because school is bullshit in the first place, most of the current American cirriculum can be learned on youtube faster and better in most cases

that is what I do plus have a brand new mounting bracket. If I get stopped for the missing plate my excuse will be I had to get a new bracket and haven't had the chance to install it. got bracket and plate on the floor in plain sight when I'm out and about.

No charge for the magazine? Georgia doesn't have a 10 round limit, and I doubt this kid obtained a legal 10 round mag here.

Monger's Market is cool to look through, but you will not find any deals there. All that stuff is priced for New York City fashionistas with rich fathers.

Facebook fucking sucks but you could probably find a cheap one on marketplace or on OfferUp. Maybe worth checking out if you're interested in it.

If you are issued 2 plates then yes you do. A lot of municipal vehicles are only issued one. Its also a law that your plates need to be in the locations they were designed for on the vehicle.

Reply to Help with recess law by proudmaryjane
There was some neat research about a decade ago that showed if you want to increase test scores in a school, the only thing you'd have to change is the number of minutes of recess :) Schools are supposed to be research-based, simply ask for the research to back up their practice. If they can't, it's malpractice :)

Huge open building full of very flammable dry wood shavings used as bedding, dust, and debris. Probably has a ton of fans to keep air moving. Once a fire gets going in a building like that, it's going to spread so fast that by the time the FD arrives, the building is already lost.

May I ask what it was about bird watching that caused an issue? Seems like there is a story there and it's probably not what I would expect.

I went back to college. Eased into it. Took 1 class then went in part-time.
It keeps my mind busy and opportunity to meet people or join programs.
Be cool and go to school.

Yes. Cops will use a missing front plate as a reason to stop you if they can't find anything else you're doing wrong. Otherwise nobody cares.

Definitely. My best friends wife is friends with my ex too, makes me hesitate to tell him everything in fears that my ex will hear stuff I don’t want her to.

LMAO I'm pretty sure you're not talking about flying birds here, actual bird watching is fun. And a good excuse to get out of the house and go somewhere

Same age, yea life happens. I was talking to my best friend on the phone this morning. They are down in FL.
My sister has like 1 close friend that still ives in CT, its just a normal part of growing up. But they still have their group chat and meet up for birthdays and trips.
Marriage/Divorce/kids can drastically change friendships also.

Lol this may sound crazy but it seems like a more effective punishment would be to make the kids run sprints or do push-ups or something. That way you take away the socialization as punishment, but still allow them to get exercise and blow off steam.

Not to mention, if they are counting last year a lot of schools had very strict policies regarding Covid isolation. If a kid wasn’t able to isolate, their 10 days of monitoring ended 10 days after the Covid positive person’s 10 days. I tested positive 12 days after the rest of my family and restarted my daughter’s clock - had she not tested positive herself she would have been out for a minimum of 32 days. She ended up being home for 24 days instead. Luckily, most of our house was positive all at once, and not like dominoes. She did attend remote learning, but not all the teachers did it every day and if there was a sub, she was marked absent for that class.
We got the obligatory “your kid has been chronically absent” letter with a sticky note telling us it was just a state requirement to send it, and they were well aware of why she had been home and not to worry about it.

Could've stopped after "literally know nothing." This guy is just regurgitating dumb tropes and obviously has no knowledge of the actual situation in the classroom.
