Every time I hear somone talk about "indoctronation," I reply that if teachers could indoctronate students, they would do their homework and get to class on time.

Bless my heart for thinking it was for corpse makeup...

It really is to the point now where public employees don't get to have a personal life.

And people wonder why I don't feel like celebrating July 4th.

I wish I wasn't required to stand for the pledge. (I'm a teacher. State law requires everyone to do it every day.) When I asked what the consequences would be if I didn't, I was basically told I'm welcome to exercise my 1st ammendment right, but I get no help if parents complain. I'm more help to students inside the classroom than out... but I absolutely never call out any kid who chooses not to. I just happen to be making coffee during that part of class most days.

We have a whole retro game station complete with CRT that they can play. They love Mario, Duck Hunt, some of the other games and are now gravitating to Gameboy, SNES and PS One. They like the Switch too, but usually go for the older stuff first.

I live and teach in a state that implemented a ban. Results after year one were marginal improvement. Many just did the "hiding" trick more than before. A number didn't think we'd notice them hunched over whispering to their watches. It was rather comical when they would do that.

Idk... I kinda want the price of groceries to go down... 🤷 that might help me be able to save for an EV.

Dude, where has libro.fm been?! That's the type of thing I have been looking for recently. DRM free downloads and a portion of sales supporting a local store.

I totally thought this was a joke...

I feel like this the start of daylight/nighttime subscriptions...

Arthur theme song kinda slaps.

That's how our state scores conditions for learning surveys that factor into our school district "report cards." I just flat out tell kids that I proctor for "if you ACTUALLY agree with the statement, choose strongly agree." All other answers are scored as negative.

First amendment for the, but not for me.

If anyone has any tips for getting Tailscale running via Docker on my Openmediavault machine, I'm open to it. Everyone lauds it for being dead simple and I cannot for the life of me get it running on the machine it needs to be. Not sure my wife can/will handle anything more complicated.

www.raygunsite.com if you want more quality merchandise! (Shameless Iowa business plug.)

I'd give that kid an A just for making me laugh.

This kind of feels like the Black Mirror episode I just watched where they duplicate your consciousness to power your "smart home."

Working though Mr. Robot and Black Mirror then jumping over to new King of the Hill.
