I've been on reddit on and off for a few years and I hear conflicting answers. I have as of writing this 23k karma. My CQS is still "lowest" (which is causing some of my posts to get removed by Automod)

Meanwhile if you go to the CQS subreddit you'll see an account with one post in a NSFW with 5 total karma which is "Moderate" or an 3 year old account that just "woke up" and started posting with 100 karma as "HIGH"

Some people say post more often (several times a day). But other people say post 1-2 times a day.

Some people say post in a variety of subreddits. Some people say focus on a few.

Some people say that if a few of your comments get upvotes too quickly you will be flagged as a spammer, and of course if you don't get any, you aren't visible enough.

I’m beyond irritated right now.

Yesterday I got written up because we were doing a virtual lab and one student was off task and didn’t complete the assignment. I got questioned about why this kid is doing so poorly and why there are so many zeros in the gradebook.

I happened to be troubleshooting another student’s connection.

Apparently it’s my fault a 10th grader decided to go on Tik Tok to watch brain rot instead of doing the lab during the few minutes my attention was elsewhere.

The thing is, this particular student has been an ongoing issue all year. He’s turned in maybe 3 or 5 very incomplete assignments out of a total of 30. Constantly late and unprepared. Always “needs the bathroom” the second independent work starts. Tries to cheat on tests. Gets up and wanders the room during instruction. Makes weird noises out of nowhere. His behavior is beyond absurd... including deliberately coughing in people's faces, trying to rough-house with random people (which is technically assault), making sexist remarks, and trying to turn off other students' computers during work time. I've literally asked him to be barred from doing labs because he was making stabbing motions with a scalpel (request was denied for "all labs" just for the ones that are potentially dangerous). He’s grabbed people’s belongings and thrown them across the room. All of it is documented.

At this point I'm just waiting for him to try and mess with one of the football players (albeit just not on my watch).

Of course none of that ever gets addressed in any meaningful way. I kick him out and he's back after having a nice chat with the principal and SRO.

But the moment he makes a choice to be off task while I’m helping someone else? Suddenly I’m the problem.
