Positively Persistent Teach

positivelypt at gmail dot com


I am a teacher. I moved to Florida to teach 2nd grade and was recently moved to Pre-K. At my last school, I taught in the resource room for grades K-8 in both reading and math (and many times other content areas as well) in a public school district. I have also taught K-2 special education in a charter school. I student taught in England, have had field placements in Montessori schools, and worked with a private Christian school.

The most important things I have learned about teaching are:
1. Don't ever give up on a kid, or yourself.
2. The attitude you have, regardless of the situation, is your choice. Choosing a negative one does not improve anything, it only makes you and others around you miserable.

Coke or Pepsi debate…pfft.

In one of my college courses years ago we did an experiment to see if anyone could tell the difference between Coke and Pepsi while blindfolded.  

No one could. 

So there. 

Pfft - I did that same experiment in middle school.  People who say they like Pepsi better can tell the difference.  People who say they like coke better can not.  Clearly only Pepsi drinkers have a refined enough palate to tell the difference.

I can tell the difference if they are from cans or bottles and not the soda fountain.  If the soda fountain’s amounts are off (I’m not sure how to explain this, but I worked in a place with a soda fountain in high school), it can affect the taste.

    I can tell the difference in a blind test. Pepsi tastes like disappointment.

    You mean sugar-tooth? Pepsi has more sugar is all. That’s the answer to the Pepsi challenge.
