Damn, she Justa did it again. Still nothing to see.

Ok, for today’s ramble, a question for left handed people or educators. Long story short, had a meeting at my kid’s school. One of the things I brought up was an assessment test done in August that he bombed majorly. Now they do this assessment 3 times a year, and it isn’t a big deal, but in kindergarten he scored like a 490 which would put him at about a 2nd grade level. And in August he scored an 8. I didn’t even know that was possible to get below 100. I tried to get information at the time, but issue is he hasn’t had the same teacher for more than 3 weeks this year. Don’t even get me started on that but most of the time I couldn’t even find out who his teacher was to ask. He has had 7 teachers this year. One new teacher who quit, a sub, another sub, another new teacher who quit, another sub, split up the class to other teachers, that teacher then had surgery so another sub, then that teacher just returned. Yeah, don’t get me started. Anyway, his next assessment in December put him up in the 500s again. I still really wanted to know what the hell happened that day, like 490, to 8, to 510. Something doesn’t fit.

Now, the assessments are computerized. I asked at the time if he was set up for left handed, as he is left handed and in kindergarten the test is done on a touch screen, but 1st it is by mouse. In my house, if he will be using the pc, I have his profile set to reverse primary and secondary mouse buttons, so I can move the mouse left for him when he sits down (I am right handed). Seems pretty basic to assume a left handed person should use the left handed mouse settings. When I asked this at the time, the sub wasn’t sure as had only been there a few days, I just eye rolled at the shitty situation in general and moved on.

Now, anyway, I finally have a teacher so I get a conference, yippie. I again ask this question, the teacher is unsure, she asks someone else who is confused and says they don’t have left handed mice. I explain their mice are universal, to which more teachers join this and say yeah, they can move the mice left. I point out that just moving the mouse isn’t changing it to left handed, because the primary and secondary buttons still need to be swapped. You aren’t expecting 6 year olds to navigate the control panel are you? They were floored. I had said something amazing an revolutionary. They were all clicking the mice like “omg, you are right” In the end, we ended up with 7 teachers who had never once considered left handed children might use a mouse with their left hand. Not one single teacher ever considered this possibility. These are teachers who wouldn’t dream of forcing a left handed student to write with their right hand, but they force them to use a mouse that way. Everything they teach is based on using it with their right hand. Every test they take is computerized thus not only are they teaching 10% of the student body incorrectly, they are hindering 10% of the students on testing. Especially since I think any reasonable parent would set their left handed child up as left handed at home. Seems obvious to me. I can now see exactly why his score was so low that day. First time he ever used a mouse in school. He moved the mouse on his own, told the teacher the mouse didn’t work, she moved it and said yes it does, he probably tried again, argued back, gave up and simply didn’t take it. I didn’t even know what to say at this point, as clearly my son has figured it out and learned at school he must use it right handed or use different fingers (I need to ask him what he is doing) so I moved on. I could accept that maybe one teacher didn’t know, it happens, but it floors me is that for years, no teacher in this entire school had ever considered a left handed student might use their left hand.

So educators, Am I the one that is absurd here? Is right handed just the only way things are done in schools?

This reminds me of an employee here, I noticed he was left handed but didn’t change his mouse, and I asked if he needed assistance in doing so. He said no, he uses it right handed. I was curious, so I asked why. He explained when he was in school, they zip tied mice to the desks, so they couldn’t be stolen, but that meant right handed was the only option, so he adapted. I was (and still think rightfully slow) aghast that an education facility would to that. He responded he was actually glad they did, because now he can use dominant hand to jack off when surfing porn, so he was way better off than us right handed people.

So left hand litsters, how do you use your mouse?

I’m ambidextrous. Somethings I’m right hand dominant, others left. I prefer to use trackballs and unfortunately I’ve yet to find a decent left handed one. As someone who codes, performs graphic design and editing, it’s paramount to have an input device that you can use appropriately. At this point using a mouse for me left handed with the buttons set appropriately is like using a a mouse right handed that I’m not familiar with. Depending what I’m doing, my right hand side may be more precise. It’s not far off from choosing a scalpel versus a hammer.

so it is 6:10 on a friday, before a 3 day weekend and I am just about to leave because I got an "urgent" ask at 5:02.

Lovely pictures, mouse method

I use a mouse with my left hand, so I can still write, but never switch the buttons. As a consultant I find myself hopping on computers all over, and swapping the settings and then swapping them back was a pain. Instead I trained my fingers accordingly. Now instead of pointer being a r
Left click and middle being rightt click, I am opposite in the left hand, then normal in right hand when I hit wired mice that wont swap sides.
But more importantly, your pictures are stunning.

1 umm kiss my ass ?
2 fucking kiss my ass?
3 FUCKING KISS MY BIG BEAUTIFUL WHITE ASS.... Lol

 

[Justadesperatewifeandmom]

Wish I could give those a few sniffs after a long day

well they are in my laundry basket.

We're close to the same age, so yes lol

lol. sometimes I party all night, just not sober haha

Is kissing your ass a bad thing for anyone?
Not me.

apparently I don't insult right.

You have a very sexy butt i would love it if you placed it on my lap.

thank you.

I'm down for some of that

Moon over Detroit Rock City?
Speaking in (Long) Tongues?
Gene Therapy?

Hope your night turns out ok!

I am sending some very weird signals apparently

and I am over here not being able to use a hammer with my left hand.

makes sense. If I have to take over a lefties machine for more that a few minutes, well I will either do it remotely, or yes, change the settings, then change them back. at the minimum, I will move the mouse.

and thank you

Kiss my axe crack?

lol. that was it.

As someone who gets those calls, I think I either need this as my signature at work after lunch on Friday or on a t-shirt. On the other hand: be careful. Guys might start making stuff up just to get the pic

right. I think they might be giving Gene away soon...might get moved to my area. then maybe more say it with an image shots.

1 umm kiss my ass ?
2 fucking kiss my ass?
3 FUCKING KISS MY BIG BEAUTIFUL WHITE ASS.... Lol

wow, I was just going kiss my ass, but I like yours better

well I have been slacking today. painted my nails (went marble inspired), did some artsy stuff, watched a documentary on my great grand uncle as kid has been interested in family history lately. Actually both hubby and I have a couple interesting relatives. I have a famous sculptor (as crazy as all my other relatives), oh and a boxer turned mob enforcer turned building foundation, and hubby's dads family was all fancy ass in England, with mansions and shit. his grandfather was already well to do, and then his 2nd wife was the daughter of someone important or something, and his great grandfather was a famous author. Yeah, hubby and his dad when telling stories would say "family manor" then have to specify which side lol. It is kind of interesting to look through the family tree. Hubby's was easier, as because of the grandfather's second marriage, many people have written all about that man's family tree. Mother was a bit harder. My family is the toughest, as almost all points end as wards of the state in group children's homes in the late 1800s up through the great depression and prior to that, non english speaking countries.

anyway, yeah, been dicking around at home, but here enjoy my shower and getting the mail

I'm jealous, my family tree was a bunch of average nobodies with nothing interesting about any of them worth looking into.

Most famous relative I have is my sister, and that's only because she won a certain tv cooking competition. Not exactly super famous.

well in my family the biggest accomplishments and the most epic fails are both due to the same mentality, which is "fuck you". The most epic fails though, you only hear with alcohol, senility, or because crazy aunt Brenda had witnessed it. Maybe there is more interesting things you don't know, and they just hid it better. That affair with that musician. The public official they decked. etc etc

Best picture of your ass yet !!!

thank you

Simply fantastic

thank you

indeed it is, and my carriers are very overworked. I shop online a lot.

so, neighbor kid has been here 5 times so far this weekend.
Today I got to be regaled with information on his probation for assault in relation to the fight he won against 2 grown men. That he is now head of security at our local outdoor establishment. Last night he thwarted a fight between 2 drunk men there, as well as a shooting by a man with a shotgun because the shooter was intimidated by him and his knife. Oh, he just got his concealed weapons permit, and how if he had his knife on him he would have helped me chop the broccoli I was chopping because his is better than the kitchen knife I was using.

FYI, he is 14. the business only has the owner and 1 employee. outside of parties, he is only open late friday and saturday as such he can't hire minors. you must be 18 to get a concealed weapons permit. and there was no fight or shooting last night. Bumblefuck is monitored heavily by old people with facebook, and this business is inside our homeowners association. If someone unknown stands somewhere for a minute, and old person will share their picture to see if they are known. only thing spoken of the past 24 was there was a dog. it was standing there. it has had its photo posted and has been identified. oh and last week someone misplaced their teenage daughter, no less then 10 people gave a play by play of every step she was taking on her walk, as well as the chubby teen boy she stopped to talk with, and the fact that someone saw the chubby teen boy cross the street last week, oh and there was a guy creepy watching a teen girl, we now have his plates. of course he was creepy watching the teen girl everyone was now watching because the mom requested eyes, but whatever.

yeah, cities have cameras, we have old people on facebook.

anyway, finally ditch the kid, but wasn't long until he saw a package delivered, thus he brought it to me, and was back. le sigh.

anyway my nails are marble inspired
