Topic: Animal Crossing: New Horizons

@Lard_Bucket less keen on owning one these days now that I have access to a lot of furniture. I copy the animals on the island and only get out my workbench at home when I want to craft.

@Ronniego already tried to add you. My switch name is Basti

@Hedi I can give you the fruit.

@Lard_Bucket thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of my villagers is crafting tea table. Gates are open to friends.
House on the left side, front left.

@foxyflimflam I wish my town had the infrastructure for that. We send home packets of homework and the students just kind of have to do it. I live and work in a town that, despite only 8000 people, has a huge income range, we have a chunk of people who are very very well off, and a comparable chunk of average folks and another third who are very low income. And because of that we can't really do online classes because a third of the students just can't join in.

As for your husband, I can imagine. Most schools these days tie the teacher's hands. You cannot really punish kids for not doing their assignments in a meaningful way. I'm a big believer in penalties and rewards. It's equally as important to reward good behavior as it is bad. But if you take away the ability to do either you cause problems. If you don't penalize problems then people - even adults, start to wonder why they should cooperate. On the flip side if you don't reward good behavior you have similar issues.

And going a step further penalties and rewards need to be proportionate and make sense. But many teachers are simply not allowed to make these decisions themselves and are restricted to very specific rules for what they can do - rules often decided by people who have never actually taught, or haven't taught in years and years.

Add to that that many schools are not even able to hold students back without parental consent and parents who refuse to believe their precious little baby is a spoiled brat who hasn't done homework since 3rd grade and it's clearly the teacher's fault they can't pass math in 7th grade...

I might only be an assistant language teacher with a measly 5 years experience in front of kids, but I've seen enough, and spoken to enough other teachers at this point to know this is a wide spread issue in Japan and America alike. To different degrees depending on the school and region, but common nonetheless.

Wait... this is an Animal Crossing thread.

I just got a bathroom sink from a balloon on the same day I built a bathroom in my house! Heck yes timing!

@Heavyarms55 @foxyflimflam it would be possible to make a room in your house look like a school class room if you wanted. haha
Chalkboard, Basic teacher's desk, School desk, School chair, etc...

@Lard_Bucket I've had school desks fall on me a couple times now. I have two desks and a chair. Haven't gotten any of the other stuff though. My friend has a Lion called Leopold whose house is just a one room school house. There's a whole bunch of items.

@Ronniego sent you a friend request: switch name Jason

@meeto_1
I'm online now sorry for the delay
The dodo code is:8MC98
Friends only.
Mad maestro: bait if you have any

@Ronniego coming. My pockets are full of turnips. Will buy a watering can at mine before travelling to yours

Does anyone have red windflowers for sale from seeds? I need 9.

One of my villagers is crafting Rocking horse. Anyone interested?

@Ronniego thank you so much. I appreciate ur help

Oh it's May here now so guess I should jump on soon to catch some new fish and bugs.

@foxyflimflam @Lard_Bucket, with all the updates being rolled out for this game I think we will all be making changes in the future. I am already wondering if i should leave space for Roost Cafe or the Dream Suite. I am trying now as much as possible to use different path types to laydown a blueprint so that i don't find myself having to redo everything because i miscounted by 1 space. I'm locked in for the next 2 weeks moving 1 building per day. At that point I might consider centralising the rocks as others on this forum have done.

@BenAV you know i love me a bit of fishing (;

@jamesnl Haha yeah. We now have football fish which you should already have but also bitterling and blowfish which should be new I think?

@BenAV we have / had bitterling here but blowfish is new and not in NH yet.

@jamesnl So you have. The source that I used for my spreadsheet back in March had wrong info for bitterling I guess. Shouldn't be any new bugs for you either so just the blowfish.
