@drdmaclee How can we possibly be the same person? I can't quote my GRE scores but I can't forgot my SAT scores--same spread. Kind of unbelievable.

Motivation for your Monday. I scored in the 92nd percentile on the qualitative portion of the GRE, and I scored in the 25th percentile of the quantitative section. I still got funding for my program, and I still earned a doctorate.

@KathrynVSantos Last weekend in Boston, visiting rels including a 16-yr-old, spent all of one dinner convo talking about Macbeth! So fun! "Should you be telling me the whole story?" "Yes!"

When you let your wife to announce to the whole world that she has cancer and facing the biggest battle of her life, alone sitting in a bench. William should have been there by her side sitting next to her. He fumbled this big time. #KateMiddleton

@obrienfolger You’re overestimating the extent to which ideas accepted as a given in liberal/Democratic circles are shared by the broader electorate. Nonstop Jan 6 coverage, justified or not, didn’t move public opinion. Donald Trump is getting MORE popular (not just with MAGA)

Baffling that Joe Biden refuses to run on ANY affirmative agenda. No positive vision for a second term; not even false promises. Just “save democracy” and “stop Trump.” #SOTU2024

@obrienfolger It’s a broad, abstract theme that doesn’t resonate with people who don’t follow politics closely and want to hear about tangible ways a POTUS will make their lives better.

@heymrsbond YES. And there are lots of different ways for students to be engaged . . . with what we want them to learn, with us, with each other. It's on us to try to figure that out, right?

@eduwonkette_jen If you teach like a typical professor, sure. Lecturing… but if you TEACH it can be just as physically and mentally draining. Doing it in the community college setting is incredible. I felt like I’d boxed all day after a single 2 hour class. It was exhilarating and draining.

@saragoldrickrab @eduwonkette_jen I've taught mostly at non-traditional universities. My current range of students are from around 18 or 19 to retiree age. I'm not trying to diminish anyone's experience. I've just done both and know that my experiences are valid as well.
