What company should I write to? I would like to write to one drop asking for a 2013 Code 1, or some other company(probably yyf, they make lots of spoof yoyos) asking for a specialty 1/2 A yoyo. You know, tight bearing seats, kk bearing, lots of rim weight, extra axles, and a concave shape, like, opposite of a Raptor or other organic throw. Yes, I have reasons for all those. Anyways, should I write to One Drop or YYF? Or some other place?
Write to YYF about things like using longer axles, helicoils, looser bearing seats, etc. Or write to them asking for maybe a yoyo design you feel would greatly benefit the community.
are you sure that you want to write the letter to a yoyo company? there would probably be an easier topic than yo-yos, just because of the relative simplicity of the actual yoyo. but, if you are set on writing the letter to a yoyo company, I would go with what yoyospirit said and write to yoyofactory asking for a looser bearing seat or a longer axle. hopefully reading the letter wonât make your teacher upset because he/she has to go and research yo-yos before grading it.
Hahaha, yes. I also enjoy exploiting loopholes in the handbook. âStudents have the right to open communication with an educator or parent at all times.â I enjoy using this loophole during a test.
Their job is to make sure you acquire a set of skills useful later in life. Your job is to understand, question, judge by yourself (i canât emphasize this one enough) and learn something out of it, not to âget paybackâ.
On topic, I believe the second idea to YYF would be a better one. Share your assignment with us after finishing it, will you?
âGet pay backâ on people who really just want to teach? You know that some teachers are kinda strict and kinda ânot so niceâ because students taught them early on that being nice wonât help them much in the classroom, right?
I was a teacher for 7 years, and I would have loved a class full of students doing THEIR job, which is to learn. But thatâs a dream. Spending all class teaching, sharing, and having a pleasant time instead of doing so much âclassroom managementâ is every teacherâs real desire, even the grumpy ones that YOU want to make even grumpier by harassing them.
Teachers are expected by their profession, their calling, and even the law to be âin loco parentisâ, which means taking the place of parents while you are with them (the word âlocoâ here isnât referring to craziness! :D). Kids end up âhatingâ teachers for the same reasons they âhateâ their parents⌠because the teachers care enough about them to sacrifice always being the âfunâ person (though a good lesson should still be fun for a rotating demographic of the class from day to day) for the sake of helping to produce good people. Not just people who get âAâ on their report cards (though thatâs not a bad thing either) but good people. You probably donât often see it this way, but they are helping to raise you, not just to teach you. Give them a break sometimes and itâll go a long way.
Rant over for now.
âI believe you need a 1/2A yoyo in your lineupâ isnât actually a bad topic for 5 paragraphs. The teacher might get lost in too much yoyo jargon if youâre not careful, though. There ARE easier topics out there, though. Anything related to improving your community or school (thoughtful ones, not just âCoke and gummy bears at the cafeteriaâ) for example.
As a current teacher, Iâd like to thank GregP and tzighy for their comments. Weâd all love to be fun all the time but unfortunately, thatâs just not possible in the real world where most kids just arenât responsible enough to not take things too far.
Studio you donât understand why it is a good thing to develop your abilityâs to be persuasive?
I would assume by your responseâs here(on yoyoexpert in general.) that you must use yours on a regular basis, jugging by how developed yours is.
