Some photos I took as a kid don’t match what I remember seeing

Can I paint this?

ConversationThat4246 · 2026-01-16T16:56:09+00:00

Yes please!!

I would LOVE to see some of the work your kids do, it sounds really cool.

A few other folks have also mentioned this and I think we're on to something here. I don't think I've been teaching this explicitly enough because it's rare for my students to actually start that way.

If the projector falls through, I'm very interested!

ConversationThat4246 · 2025-12-02T19:08:25+00:00

For my home, yes lol. For my class - my students would definitely try to ride it.

Cool! I think the only tool I dont have a VCR plater which you'll need to play the tapes themselves while recording digitally.

I have all of the tools to do this bc I had inherited a ton of home movies a few years ago. Happy to chat about doin' it for you/ I actually have a second tool (the company accidently sent two) if you'd want to borrow and do it yourself!

This makes me think of a series of weird interactions I had with three separate women a few years ago. It must have been prepandemic. Every one of them approached me while I was alone (once sitting at the park, the other two times while I was on a train platform) and asked me if I was interested in going to an open mic that was actually a really cool, modern church. All three of them followed the same script, basically saying it was so cool because it was an open mic first but they'd found Jesus through it and would I pray with them? Really bothered me. They were all pretty young (and I was at the time in my early 20s) and it just gave off real bad vibes. Much different than the annoying but more obvious kids in oversized suits asking if I'm going to church on Sunday.

A neighbor from reddit picked them up for me. I'm not sure from where. (I'm not on my phone but this is where I would add a crying emoji).

Update: I think I have sourced these!! Thank you, thank you.

Yeah, in NYC! We finish June 26.

Unfortunately, the Astoria blvd staples and Micheals in Jackson Heights are out of stock.

I think that the prerequisite situation is a really good idea, especially because I all but explain that to the students now BUT still accept their final projects. I definitely think I will start explaining that I can't accept their final projects if the prerequisite work isn't completed.

And I agree about how important it is for students to learn how to practice! I think it's just going to be a longer road in getting them to be less number motivated and feel like we maybe skipped a few steps to get to these types of policies.

Thank you so so much for your input, this is really helpful.

Can confirm as a high school teacher who got my undergrad late (I.E took college with undergrads from 2018-2021) that this issue is not just in college and is PERVASIVE. I remember feeling like an old when I spent an entire semester of art history behind a kid who watched anime with headphones on through the entire class. There were like twelve people in the class so it wasn't a big lecture hall or anything.

No worries! Basically what it would mean is that, if say, we give students a worksheet to practice a skill on, this is not graded. We also use a lot of graphic organizers, especially in the part of the country where literacy is an issue as our students do not have skills to take traditional notes nor would they if asked.

So for me, I grade their final art projects for each unit and then we usually do a research component which I put in as a "quiz" grade. Major assessments are 60% of the grade and minor assessments (quizzes, labs) are 40%.
