I teach, and I don't really have any real desire to leave my current district, but the question that is begging to be asked: What are you looking to assure in salary and benefits to staff members?

Reply to comment by DeuceClimaxx in Got a job opportunity in Portsmouth for ~40K a year - is this possible? by SkotchMiist
man
My electric bill is fine but for a 3 bedroom house, and capped heat at 66 degrees, my natural gas bill is $300-$400 between November and March.
So yea actually the former rent is closer to it.

I lived in Portsmouth as a first year grad 10-12 years ago making slightly more than that. Is it possible? Yes. But you’re week to week. And actually that was back when you could get an apartment down by water country for like 1300 a month. Doubt you can find the same apartment for under 2000 now.
Actually I just checked - I lived in beechstone from 2010 to 2013 and paid $1350 a month for rent. That was tight on $43k with no student debt / insurance. Now it seems like the low end is $2300. Seems impossible

ok, first, there's no poltiican anywhere that is going to have that stance, second, that's the entire point of having a society. Some parts of society subsidize other portions. It makes it easier and cheaper for everyone.

you opine on every topic about education and teachers with these condescending opinions like
>That's not what teachers are for.
when you're clearly - at best - a contrarian.
I'm not trying to burn and this isn't about intelligence. This whole subreddit would benefit from not having a bunch of contrarians trolls and edgelords that it gets on some of these topics.

How do you think deliveries to extreme rural America work?
You realize that not only would these be more expensive in many cases, but they just flat out wouldn't deliver to rural areas as there is little to no profit to be had in it.

So why would you assume random politicians know better than trained professionals? Also - I’m guessing you’re young - the experts aren’t the ones who said there were wmds in Iraq. It was the neocons in the bush admin.

Reply to Is “The Shield” episodic? by saulgoodman673
It’s the best series in history for a lot of us. Stick with it. Warning, the show does slow down at points after some plot points. But the stretch from when Anthony Anderson comes on til the end of the show is my pick for best stretch in tv history

Seinfeld definitely wouldn't have made a 2nd season. The first is really awkward and kind of shitty.
Always Sunny was dark and while the first season is incredible probably is too over the top to make a 2nd season.

Reply to Milford School Board votes to consider all-stall restrooms after public debate by NewEnglandBlueberry
A mostly unrelated story. I teach at a high school in nh. Either the fall before the pandemic or the year before that I heard a bunch of noise coming from the boys bathroom, and couldn’t figure out why anyone else was dealing with it.
So I walk in there wondering what the hell, and there’s a bunch of freshman and sophomore boys in there. Like 10-15. I’m pretty easy going and mostly just want things to not cause a scene.
I see a couple kids sitting in the sinks eating their lunch. And I let them know that whatever they think the sink can hold is probably less than they realize and it’s about to break. Then I realize there are 3-4 boys crowded down by the urinals - eating maybe a foot or so from them.
Then 3-4 kids come out of the stall (just one). Their reaction is it’s not what it looks like. I’m not sure what they think I was thinking - I’m sure they were vaping or something, but these boys were eating their lunches right by the toilet. Take a two urinal one stall two sink bathroom, and imagine 15 kids eating in there. And these were kids that were probably more on the giving rather than receiving end on the bullying.
Kids are weird as fuck

I don't think you're going to find better than this for $1200. Ridiculous as it is - that seems like a great price for this and the location. I mean Dover alone has 800 ft 2 bedrooms for ~2000-2500.

Reply to comment by Tullyswimmer in New Hampshire GOP governor says he’s considering 2024 White House bid by Jesuslovesthepackers
But he's not against any competition so how well he does is really pretty worthless. Who cares if he can edge out the Colin Van Osterns and beat up the Dan Feltes of the world. This guy barely beat Edelblut.
Whether he has a path in a crowded primary or a general is dramatically different than whether he can win, as an incumbent in a political dynasty, against the drek the NH dems are throwing.
I'd love to lay some odds on Sununu's 2024 polling. Looks like most sites have Trump and Desantis taking about 80% right now.
Sununu's path is hoping that at least 1 of them doesn't run. Unless that happens, he has about as much a chance as being the gop candidate as I do. I mean he doesn't even have money in the area code of these two, and we're just assuming that NH still has the first primary. If it gets flexed into 3rd/4th, then his chances go from like 2% to 0%.

Disagree. What’s his lane? Maga isn’t voting for him. Moderates who care about education or abortion aren’t. And they basically competing for that small sliver that is outside there with others.
I’d be surprised, even in nh, if he polls above 5-6%

Like a 5-6/10 if I ignore the abortion stuff and his appointment if edelblut.
Edelblut is unqualified and a fucking idiot , and even if Sununu was lynch that appointment alone is enough to take him down.
I hope he receives a real challenge in 24.
