Hi..great forum. Hope you get it ironed out soon. Nice and many helpful things. I have a lot of material and will contribute in the future. Will not be posting in the style I do at Daves...this is a work related forum. Anyone need help or have questions pm or email me!

Hey Spliff,

I was wondering whatever happened to you over at Daves. I am Zutronius on the forum but prefer to not post there often. What level/levels have you or do you teach at? I'm always looking for ideas for my high school classes. Welcome to Waygook as well!

Hello Spliff,

Hope you find the material here useful.  I am slowly working on improvements, so if you have any suggestions, or ideas feel free to share.

Hey, Zutronius hoes it going. Dave banned me for life even banned my home and workplace ip's as well. I teach elementary and teach after-school program. Probably won't be of too much use for your needs teaching HS I hope. Are your Ss extremely low level?

Thanks all for the welcome!

Hi Spliff

I quit Dave's altogether. I was also banned--similar to you. I was banned from work and at home via IP address. I'm not sure why either, because I had not been posting much during that time period and I wasn't saying anything that would get me banned. I thought of reasons why I was banned and realized it might have had something to do with a criticism I launched against the mods about taking down all the union-related (ATEK) posts as they appeared. It was hardly enough to be banned for, but I guess it was a good time to quit that horrible forum anyway.

I think this is a much better alternative, though it's unfortunate that not many people use it.

Look forward to your contributions!

Hi and welcome. 

Dave's can be useful just b/c of the sheer number of users, but that's also it's weakness.  I'm kind of glad this isn't anywhere near as big.  I'm happy to have conversations about a number of topics, but I'm glad the focus is sort of just on teaching.  We used to have more current events stuff but people got bent out of shape about it. 

Anyway, I look forward to your contributions!

I hope Waygook gets to that sweet spot between having a good number of people but not so many that it's flamewar central. Having a large group of positive people devoted to posting lesson plans and having constructive conversations would be nice

Spliff! Long time! I'm another permanent Daves quiter.

Good to see some old names and decent posters (Smee etc).

Same goes for me. I've been here going on 13 years. Wife/kids etc all part of the peninsula.

Any help for newbies, or, any problems, I also hope I can help.

Hi Spliff, Welcome aboard! You were awesome on Dave's Buy and Sell~keeping it all honest. I'm Harpeau over there.
One thing to keep in mind for some of you: My home IP was banned (no reason) until about 2 weeks ago, when suddenly it lifted. don't know why?? Might want
to check it out. It'll be 15 years this April that I've been here. This is an awesome board, BTW.
