My dad has a flip phone. He calls me to text people for him. I'm winning?

Please let me know if it's because we taught them that learning was a game to win, at all costs.

Apparently not. I do a terrible job at talking about the work I do. If you ever want to chat about what actually happened with the choice... Let me know. Rumor is they are about to flip back to middle schools.

Yes. I worked with 7 K-8s for 6 years

SLA-MS is 5-8, where 5th and 6th multi age loop and then there's a second loop for 7/8.
comment in response to post
I then spent 6 years working in those K-8 schools. And, I'm sorry to say... It wasn't great.

It's all so ridiculous. It's both ridiculous that it is still a holiday *and* that the current administration believes it isn't enough of a holiday.

Former farm kid... There's a grower/producer org for all manner of crops. Figured why wouldn't blueberries also have one!
comment in response to post
This might be useful information. The org is also on LinkedIn and could connect you with an expert. www.internationalblueberry.org/2025/04/10/t...

WI, generally, loathes outsiders telling them what to do. Many states are like this, but it is strong in Wisco. The... 'you're not from here' was felt/understood frequently when he would pop up in the news. The money in the background is generally tolerated... man on a stage in a cheese hat, nope.

I'm glad the GOP just can't stop trying to use outsiders to win state wide elections. I believe that if Musk had stayed out of it, it would have been closer. Ran a Senate candidate that lives in CA, Gov. candidate living on the East Coast. Musk from DC trying to buy an election. #nope

Were the sharks cousins to Port and Starboard? (This is one of the wildest stories I've read in a while... That wasn't about our govt) Two killer whales are hunting great white sharks — to eat their livers www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

It is both predictable vague, but to your point, what this is supposed to refer to is... um... non existent?

I wonder where they got that idea.... oh, wait.

Ffs. Those folks go back to f/t teaching for several years, then become eligible after 3-5 years back in teaching

Same on the turbulence - I've done Australia twice, Amsterdam to Cape Town, China, Malaysia, Qatar - and I can't remember a bit of turbulence. (and I would remember)

The utter willful ignorance is unending and exhausting.

Yeah, that's a drop you head walk away moment. Shaking it the whole way. Deep breaths. Just... Oof.
comment in response to post
Ugh. It's as if so many folks didn't know how things work.
