Discussion Boards are the worst aspects of online async college, change my mind.

"bUt iT pRePaRes YoU fOr DoInG tEaM tAsKs iN yOuR fUtURe cArEer"

You really need to see a doctor. I'm pretty sure you have shoe polish poisoning from all the boots you've been licking.

Je viens d'apprendre que le Collégien est dans la même classe qu'une jeune fille avec qui il a été de la moyenne section jusqu'au CE1. Cette jeune personne était sa personne préférée au monde, sa personne ressource. ...
Il est dans la même classe cette année et il n'en a jamais fait mention. Comme si leur relation n'avait jamais existé. Ca me brise le coeur.

Data from the @chronicle: "Nearly 80% of [Americans] with a degree said the cost was worth it…[But] the positive attitudes…tend to follow salaries. About 88% of higher earners — those with a household income greater than $100,000 — said their degree benefits outweighed the cost…Only 63% of graduates in households with incomes less than $50,000 said their degree benefits outweighed the cost."

A thread on fairness in instructing. I think we do a terrible job training new instructors on what it really looks like to be fair. When I started as a new assistant professor, I was very concerned about being fair.

But, I didn’t think it was possible to be compassionate to students and also be fair.

This is because I saw any act of compassion to one student would be unfair to other students.

I no longer think this is true. Here’s why. 1/🧵

Stemming “male drift,” or trying to reach “gender parity” in enrollment, or affirmative action for men: the latest trend. Wow. nytimes.com/2023/09/08/magazin

"There are close to three for every two men in in [the U.S.]. ...
But the easiest way for many competitive to fix their gender ratios lies in the selection process, at which point officers often informally privilege applicants, a tendency that critics say amounts to for men.
At the very least, Martin says, we should know when there’s a thumb on the scale, and for whom."

AP classes are a waste NY Public Schools should be partnering with SUNY schools to get high school students real transferable College Credits with money from the home districts paying all or part of the costs of the classes Local teachers could be adjunct profs if qualified

On a podcast appearance, Portland State Vikings head coach says that one of the players had his ear "partially ripped off," in their last game against Oregon. The player has a concussion and his ear got stitched back on, and he'll be sitting out their next game

Moving my kid into his dorm for sophomore year, and it's so funny watching my wife make his bed and unpack with him. (He himself is an active participant, so it's not like she's doing everything for him while he plays in his phone.)

I don't know what her parents did, but the contrast with mine is remarkable: they were like, "all right, here's your shit, have a good semester."

A quotation from Fry, Stephen:

«
Education is the sum of what students teach each other in between lectures and seminars. You sit in each other’s rooms and drink coffee — I suppose it would be vodka and Red Bull now — you share enthusiasms, you talk a lot of wank about politics, religion, art and the cosmos and then you go to bed, alone or together according to taste.
