Older generations say “we all struggled in our 20s.” No, you didn’t. You didn’t pay insane rent prices and ridiculous grocery bills. You didn’t graduate into massive student debt and $0 job security. Gen Z isn’t dramatic. They’re drowning.

When they find this stone age animal he should be shot then and there. My blind fury is directed at those who let him loose on the community, they must have known he was dangerous. I hope they find that little girl alive but I doubt it what she must have gone through, I just dont want to think about.

Every math teacher has felt the frustration. You go over an example problem at the board. The students listen and copy it down. Everything seems fine. And then you notice the copying errors. Seriously, how hard can it be to copy a math problem correctly? Pretty hard, actually. If the problem is accompanied by an explanation, the student has to decide which to pay attention to; trying to focus on both at the same time can produce a form of cognitive overload called the split-attention effect. If not—if the problem is being performed silently or being narrated—there's still the unfamiliar material problem. Symbols a student has never seen before. Brand new operations. Puzzling new procedures. The student doesn't know the math yet; transcribing it correctly at first sight is a big thing to ask. And then there's something called 𝘴𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘤 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯: in the moment it takes for a student to shift their focus from the board to the paper, their memory literally goes blank. Math can easily go missing in that moment. Add in wildly different processing rates, fine-motor skills, and amounts of working memory, and copying mistakes in the multi-student classroom are no longer inexplicable; they're inevitable. Or I should say they 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 inevitable, because now they can be avoided entirely. How? By cutting out the copying completely and putting pre-worked examples on the page itself. Enter YouTeachYou, the first k-8 math method with an example for everything. Because math students need reliable examples to work with (and can be less than reliable when copying them down themselves). See YouTeachYou.org

Im going to lock my account for a while. All joking aside, as thick skinned as I am a certain someone’s behaviour is deeply disturbing and is making me really uneasy,

She ignores him because he would give her a toxic reputation. She frames her transphobia as being to the exclusive benefit of women. She can't rep for a divorced man with rage issues and still do that. He'd give her entire game away if she ever acknowledged him as a hero.
