r/WestVirginia

Any teachers here? My family and I are planning to move back to WV once my wife's green card is approved. I am an ESL and Elementary licensed. I would prefer to stick around Kanawha county due to having family close by there. Anyone have an idea?

None of my children are school aged and have been allowed very limited screen-time. I don't think anyone can deny the effects of excessive screen time on today's youth. That being said, it has recently been brought to my attention that apparently all/most of student assignments are done on their iPads in our public schools in WV. Is this true? Specifically wondering about Cabell co if that makes a difference. I'm not saying it's not important for children to know how to use technology, but it's very bothersome to me to think about children not doing their work on paper and staring at blue light 5+ hours a day. If you are a parent please tell me what the iPad usage is like in your local schools.

Asking for my friend who is going and is scared of heights, not me, no way 👀 I tried to look at it on Google Earth and the street view stops in the middle of the road.

Thanks in advance and please don't roast me, I get vertigo bad.

Edit: Also, just to clarify because I realize now that there are multiple entrances, I'm talking about the Seebert road entrance.

I’m a junior dev moving back to Huntington here soon after living and working abroad for several years. I’m just asking a general question about the market for juniors. I’m not asking for you to tell me about my specific situation which is why I’m not giving details about me. I’m just asking how long is the market IN GENERAL for junior devs.

I'm making an animated project set in West Virginia in 2009. The issue is that I'm not from the state and I'm not even from the country. I've read that it was a rather poor state with low educational results, but I obviously don't want to depict West Virginians as "poor and stupid". And between what the Internet says and real life, there must be some differences.

The project is set in a fictional city in Greenbrier County. It wouldn't be doable in real life because it has around 30k inhabitants, more than the entirety of the county (hence the fictional aspect) and a community college.

I'm asking you guys for things I should know, I want to make that city as "realistic" as possible while still keeping a hint of fiction.
