Tidbits

School by its very design runs contrary to the positive mental impulses that are within every human on birth. It's why kids begin eager and most end up soulless husks. I wish I knew how to fix it.

Ian: How many Tacos have you eaten?

Me: Only six.

Ian: looks surprised

Me: They're very small.

When someone asks me how much I've eaten, I tend to assume they're implying I've eaten too little. I forget that it's usually the opposite.

One thing learned from the project I was doing in class these last few days: a LOT of my students have no idea how making videos works.

Student yanked the fire alarm today so we had to go outside in the cold weather (actual cold, not "Texans whining" cold). Problem? It just ate away lunch time. If they'd waited about 10 more minutes, they would've delayed the start of class and actually gotten some benefit from it.

I teach at a school where the students can't even pull pranks right. Sigh.
