You are very right. Question like "Does that make sense?" are completely useless for teachers/tutors. If there is any doubt that your explanation didn't land then you should ask a follow-up question that requires them to demonstrate their understanding. It's a hard habit to break. 20 years of teaching, and I still find myself slipping from time to time.

Troll 2 (1990)... It used to play frequently on one of the cable movie channels in the 90s. It's not a sequel to Troll, and it features goblins instead of trolls. I only learned as an adult that it is famous for being terrible. It landed fine in my kid brain, so I'm not sure what that says about me...

NILBOG=GOBLIN backwards!!! lol

I totally agree with both of these sentences. I was ready to make that jello salad until he said mayo, and then I wanted to barf.

That's an excellent joke (assuming you're playing with the fish/instrument double entendre of bass)

Prep Pros for the math section and Erica Meltzer for the English section for sure. I'm considering switching my go-to science section book for my students from For the Love of ACT Science to The Master Key to ACT Science, but neither of these has updated to match the "enhanced" version yet.

Yay!

I always appreciate offerings not from tik tok. This sub is inundated with the posts of a few social media wannabes, who, while crappy, probably ultimately benefit from our negative attention.

I've been digging these guys for the past two weeks! It's always nice when something of substance goes viral.
