@gariphic I had to coax mine a couple weeks ago to wake up!

Okay it can snow now. Just spent half-hour trying to get the old snowblower started. It was in deep hibernation 😴 #CT

@msruggerio 27. I’ve written 27 this year. I have averaged 24 or so the last 10 years. I’d love to know the same. I dread fall for exactly this.

@dan_bressler @YepOkSure Absolutely agree!

@YepOkSure I teach chemistry. I need a tech platform that: 1) costs less than pencil and paper 2) is faster/less inconvenient for writing equations 3) Allows students to show their mathematical reasoning/draw pictures 4) is secure against cheating (compared to paper) LMK what you got.

@sheridan120 @DispatchAlerts I enjoyed the article. My alma mater represented well. I believe there is still a place for small liberal arts colleges.

Between skepticism about the value of college degrees and a renewed push for workforce programs, I wondered how liberal arts college presidents were viewing this moment in higher ed. Their answers were honest and hopeful. My latest for @DispatchAlerts ⤵️ dispatch.com/story/news/edu…

@Tweetlahuac I worked through the 21st. Back tomorrow. Oh well.

Dear teachers who have to go to work tomorrow / this week, That sucks Sincerely, A teacher who had had to work until the 21st

@heymrsbond I quit collecting or assigning formal homework. I’ll walk around & place a non-calculating 0 or 1 in my grade book. I post the entire answer key. If they want to reassess, then all HW must be completed & shown prior to me allowing them to reassess.

@BrendanKeefe Not Ohio?

This is the most Georgia thing ever. I went into a local gyro shop. While waiting for the food, I mentioned that I had just been to Athens over the summer. They asked if I was a bulldog. “No, the other Athens…”

@TweetingPureAu Organic chem is the closest we have. (Semester long).

Does anyone work in a district where there is a biochemistry elective? If so, I’d love to pick your brain a bit 😬

@sheridan120 I call that “Tuesday”. But I’m sorry.

currently living in my own personal hell (realizing I called someone by the wrong name)

@msruggerio Same view at my place!

@DrRamblings @DuchessSexpert Out of tune wind chimes…

@IBchemmilam My district will need a chemistry teacher next year, the year after, and then the year after. Plus a physics teacher. And a couple biology teachers. (9 science teachers in the next 5 years) I’m not sure they are out there.

My district is hiring a chemistry teacher, pay scale below, 5 sections of chemistry, we have 10 minute passing periods so you always have time to go to the bathroom

@sheridan120 I might offer advice on science stuff. Your ability to write? Heck no!! (Or is that: Heck, no!!)

I no longer have any chill for retired teachers who belabor me in emails about misplaced modifiers and claim I wouldn't have passed their 7th grade English class. If it's not kind and constructive, stay out of my inbox. I don't need this today, Mark!

@strobist Congratulations!!!

Here's the image. What's the physics question? #iteachphysics

@RyTriGuy Not periodic table. But CNC router & stuff.

@RyTriGuy Wait. Are you me? Laser & woodworking.

@MarcusLuther6 And… the kids then never read the syllabus you spend all the time having to put on there. “What did I miss?” “I didn’t know that was due.” “We have a test today?”

@IsitJuneyet @MarcusLuther6 If it’s a name or pronoun, I thank them for correcting me. Talk about power. HS. And 100% - I mess up, I admit it, in front of class. Funny how much less lying I then get from kids 1-on-1.

@MarcusLuther6 I say please and thank you routinely, and I apologize when I make a mistake - pronounce a name incorrectly, blank on a name, mark a paper incorrectly, speak sharply (rare, but I’m human), and such. I teach hs, and the golden rule is crucial.
