80sFan, What's a food or food combination you eat that most people would think weird?
If no weirdness, then what was your favourite food as a kid?

I'll have what you're drinking!Of course! They'll compete for the AFC championship... And we'll achieve world peace, unlock the secrets of cold fusion, reverse global warming, end worldwide hunger, and Donald Trump will be our next President.
danie How have schools/students changed since you started teaching?
First computer, way back when. Lucky I could turn it on. Techno dinosaur- still am. Using a search and plugging in Stephen King. Presto- a website followed by a message board. Wondered what that was, entered and never left. Oh, the good old days!
I don't think this space could hold all the changes, Morgan!
I think the main change is that we have gone from teaching for the students' best interests to teaching them to do well on state testing. I really despise testing. Of course, teachers still have their students' learning in mind, but always, in the back of your mind, you know you're trying to get them ready for the BIG TEST.
The children get so nervous. They cry and their little tummies hurt. We offer "Good Faith Effort" which are rewards for trying on the test--bubbling in every answer, leaving no blanks, not distracting, etc. It really breaks my heart to see how some try so hard, and just cannot do it...not everyone is cut out for school/testing. It's so unfair. I'm sure I could get better at free-throws if I practiced, but I would never do great--that's the way I feel about some of these kids. They are worried about mom and boyfriend fighting, or getting breakfast, and then we expect them to test well.
These children are more than a test score, but we all stress out trying to make sure everyone's 'proficient.'
Students have changed in that they are like the rest of the world--dependent on their precious phones and social media for entertainment. Also, many seem to be 'in charge' at home, where 29 years ago, when I started, this was rarely the case. Of course, they seemed more innocent when I first started too. I really sound like an old lady, eh? I think that, since they have access to the Internet, they've seen a whole lot more than kids did long ago!
He moved them just outside the city limits, so their new neighbors have no legal leg to stand on. The ordinance about barking dogs applies only inside the city limits. Neighbor's still next door. HE hasn't moved (yet). He just put the dogs over there. I feel for those people. I honestly do.
danie I live with a teacher, so I know what he likes and dislikes the most about teaching. What's your favorite and least favorite thing?
I was a mod-not a Mod-Mod, (On the SKMB) for a little while. It was soooo cool!
I will treasure that time for as long as I live.
Yay!

I *come up with interesting threads* simply because I'm goofy. I guess I seem to see or experience things in a different way. And all you people reinforce my threads by posting! Ha!

No I don't watch Ink Master. ANYTHING that has to do with needles, anything, just grosses me out. It's a phobia.
Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things but there is no hope for The Giants....
I have never made it to the covered bridge festival. However, have attended a lot of just local festival that feature the fall colors. Thanks for asking question.
I haven't met Marsha or Stephen, but same answer as DJ about the beta testing and moderating.
Sarah25, when was the last time you watched Labyrinth and which is your favourite non-human character?
Oh, and which song from the album do you like best?
Thank you for the question FlakeNoir
I watched it a few months ago. I like a lot of the characters, I guess I will choose Hoggle. I mean, unless we are considering Jareth non-human....
Favorite song is As The World Falls Down, followed by Magic Dance, and Underground. So much nostalgia for me with that movie.
Your picks?
FlakeNoir Do you live anywhere near where Lord of the Rings was filmed? Such a beautiful country. I don't know how much computer imagery was used in the landscape shots. What did you think of the depiction?
kingricefan TrueGeneration morgan : What are some of you guys favorite movies of all time?
Lol they would probably say thanks for me letting them crawl around outside the cage and keeping them well fed
.
Thanks for the question, Sarah!
The Godfather is my favorite movie of all-time! Followed by Saving Private Ryan, Little Miss Sunshine, Breaking Away and Inglourious Basterds (and then some more LOL) But that's my top five
