Unfortunately, failing classes in public education is not at all common anymore. It requires a lot of documentation, meetings, calls, individualized curriculum adjustments, and a multitude of second chances. On top of that, administration is not a fan because it makes the school look bad in their eyes.

A lot of the teachers I worked with would vent their frustration that it was way too much work to fail a student or get them dropped from the program. Unfortunately, I was too busy figuring out how to update the curriculum from Windows 7, on machines built to run Windows 7, as well as just learning how to teach (my “training” was about half a day of sitting in on other classes), to fight that kind of battle. At some point, it’s a disservice to the rest of the class to spend that time and energy on the ones who are there to coast.

I tried my best. Hopefully everybody learned a few things. If nothing else, I certainly did.

The lack of etiquette is really frustrating. Had a tech student that was always putting in both earbuds as I was speaking. Had to walk over and wave my hand in front of the screen to get their attention.

When they graduated they said they were excited to get a job in the industry. Internally can’t help but think “with what knowledge or experience? You spent the entire class blocking it out.”

I love these. I wish there were fighting game and arcade stick communities on lemmy but it doesn’t seem to have a big demographic here.

Trump appointed Milley to his position in 2018. Milley said in an interview published last week in The Atlantic that Trump asked him when he offered him the position as chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff if he was “soft on transgenders.”

“I’m not soft on transgender or hard on transgender,” he says he replied. “I’m about standards in the U.S. military, about who is qualified to serve in the U.S. military. I don’t care who you sleep with or what you are.”

Trump announced his ban on transgender people serving openly in the military in 2017, which his administration defended in courts for years until the Biden administration got rid of it in 2021.

“Trump’s attitude toward the uniformed services seemed superficial, callous, and, at the deepest human level, repugnant,” Milley said in the interview.

I can see why Republicans hate him.

Can we please let this meme hate die? How have you people not adjusted to the concept of putting on a costume and roleplaying, we do it every October.

Right this sounds like giving all of my personal messages to one more entity.

At least he didn’t call him something truly reprehensible like cis-gendered. 🙄

The only sort-of controversy I can think of is when he called his users idiots for giving him their data, what, 15-20 years ago when he was in college? That wasn’t even a public statement. Musk is loudly calling anybody who opposes him on anything a cuck, pedo, asshole…

Does space debris have any known natural predators?

Hold my garbage, I’m going in!

There are video links posted if you’d like to stop assuming.

I mean it would be cool if I were able to fact-check in real-time within my own brain, but I can’t help feeling that this sounds just like a Black Mirror episode.

They are believed by theosophists to be encoded in a non-physical plane of existence known as the mental plane. Because it is believed that the records are encoded vibrationally into the inherent fabric of space, some have likened the mechanism as similar to how holograms are created.

I know some of these words!

My vote is for Slay the Spire. Invented the deck-building roguelike genre and did so with an interesting setting, simple but appealing artstyle, memorable soundtrack, and very tight balancing across 21 difficulty levels.

Also Tetris, but that’s already been said.
