1. If “putting pennies up there” would work as a birth control because they learned about copper IUDs.

  2. I'm no expert, but these look pretty damn good to me. I especially like number 8 (the forest shot). The weakest of the bunch is the dog on the Plaza. (Dog is 10/10, shot is only so-so - and I'm a dog person).

  3. Sounds like a bullshit 504 to me. Have the writer of the 504 review Night for violent content ("I have a very high tolerance for depictions of violence myself so I'm not a good judge") and have them on the record their black Sharpied copy of Night as to what is offensive. Alternatively, you can write a blanket statement that, in your professional opinion, there is nothing mentioned in Night that reaches the threshold of violent content as specified in the 504.

  4. What state are you in? Is there a union at either of these schools?

  5. They do this in a lot of districts in CA, and we have unions

  6. I'm in NY and that seems so wild to me. When I switched from teaching adult ed through the local BOCES to an actual HS teaching position I figured they wouldn't give me ANY years of experience. Nope. Got my five years of adult ed experience PLUS a year for teaching summer school twice.

  7. How would I react? I don't need that person in my life.

  8. Biden has now forgiven over 8% of all student debt!

  9. Mine was forgiven last month! My wife has 4 years to go on her PSLF, but my daughter has almost 8.

  10. I had $22K in student loans wiped out a month ago. This alone is enough for me to vote for Biden again. (Plus the fact that Trump is walking, talking human garbage.)

  11. AirplaneTM Brand Airlines seems like it's even lower than JetBlue on the super-economy scale.

  12. I'm doing my best to bring down the average. I spent zero this past year. But my admin is very supportive and anything I ask for, I get. But then again, I don't ask for much.

  13. As a teacher, this isn't unusual in a lot of schools, unfortunately. However, the principal didn't act very professionally either. That being said, it doesn't seem like things in that school are well run and you probably dodged a bullet. On the other hand, what sort of position were you interviewing for? Teacher? Academic support? Something else?

  14. After six years of working in high school education, I'm making twice as much as the listed elementary ed salary. Upstate NY. I have a masters.

  15. Do you recommend teaching in NY? I'm in WA about to graduate with a BAE, but I'd like to be closd to NYC 

  16. The benefits as a public school teacher in NY are pretty good. Most of the horror stories I've heard on this subreddit don't happen in NY for a variety of good reasons.

  17. Could you possibly be thinking of the Animaniacs song "U.N. Me"?

  18. "My consultant rate is $100/hr with a 40 hour minimum. Must be paid in advance."

  19. I mean the roof leaks in my school because they accidentally hired a terrible contractor who went out of business shortly after and they haven't gotten that rectified yet (yes, I understand the irony that I'm at a vocational school). It's still overall a pretty great place to be just... you know... avoid THAT corner after a big storm.

  20. You don't. I've been dealing with these people since the 80s. Not worth the time and effort.

  21. I've lived in East Greenbush for 15+ years. Any sort of crime is extremely low. I'm sure there are drugs in the area because there are people in the area. Is it a safe area? Yes. Downsides are you can occasionally smell the asphalt plant operating, but it's rare. Driving by the sewer plant on 9&20 you can get a whiff of it especially on hot days, but its less offensive than the manure I've smelled in agricultural areas just a little further out. Hampton Manor's elementary school is Red Mill, which is pretty damn good. Goff Middle and Columbia High School are excellent (has been in the top 10 Capital District school districts for as long as I've lived here). Close to the Knickerbocker/Pepsi Arena/Times Union Center/MVP Arena.

  22. What you only wanted to highlight that area? If you already felt that way… WHY post the question? Makes no sense, drive out to East Berne, Schodack, or duanesberg buy your house and be happy

  23. Right. As everyone knows there's no crime or drugs in East Berne, Schodack, or Duanesberg. /s

  24. "Ew. You use Instagram? That's so 2016."

  25. "You sure did a shitty job of promoting your brand."

  26. "She's only hot if you want us to have a threesome with her."

  27. I have literally never seen literally spelled "littleraly" before.

  28. This is one of the reasons I like ordering online for just about everything.
