School's out for Summer!-AMA-Update
I said I would.
But a few classroom rules. 1. The answer to the obligatory question. No 2. There are no stupid questions-just stupid people that ask questions. 3. Teacher has the right to suspend you. 4. Teacher can take regular quarter and holiday breaks. Last edited by displacedinMN; 12-09-2019 at 06:11 PM.. |

Is the elementary school classroom game "heads up; 7 up" truly just a method for teachers to figure out who their natural born cheaters are?

Not that I know of and I had not heard of that. Stupid game that teaches nothing. No skill. No educational value. good time waster for bad teachers.

As a baby boomer, I hear lots of things about how education is worse today than the olden days when I was walking around in my Mork and Mindy t-shirt and mood ring. So I don't need any more theories on that.
In what ways is education better today than it was thirty years ago? |

We try to get kids to think and process more with open ended projects instead of memorization. I try not to teach crap they can just look up on the internet. Those are all good things. I despise multiple choice tests. They prove nothing. But yet all state tests are MC. Even math. |

To what extent do you make snap judgments about kids on the first day of class? How often are you right and wrong?
And tell us about the kid who most surprised you relative to your initial expectations? And what grade(s) do you teach? |

b. I have a few. One this year-thought she would be tough, she was awesome and worked hard. Mostly it is the ones that you think will be good and have a difficult time putting words and thoughts to paper. 6. I teach 8th grade Earth Science. I have taught all sciences, in all Middle School grades. I started teaching in KCK. I may have some students on this board. For that, I apologize. I am a much better teacher now. Been in Middle School for 26 years. Next year is 27. |

We have a few:
Meatball sandwich Sweet and sour chicken Kicken chicken bowl or meatball bowl. With corn on top Hamburgers BBQ drumsticks The salads are good. The day they have Sloppy Joes or Maple pancakes without syrup is disgusting. The combined smell is terrible. Fish bites. What the hell? Cooked cauliflower with buffalo powder. Laughed at the head of food service when she tried to pass that shit on me. |
