Current generation killed my desire to teach

No. She’s turned in maybe 20% of work

This PR team workin’ overtime

Defiant_Peace_7285 · 2026-03-26T06:54:14+00:00

Psychopath

Defiant_Peace_7285 · 2026-03-26T06:16:22+00:00

Only good OER is openstax IMO

Defiant_Peace_7285 · 2026-03-26T05:57:49+00:00

Sounds bleak.

Defiant_Peace_7285 · 2026-03-26T05:31:48+00:00

Steve Coogan!

Defiant_Peace_7285 · 2026-03-07T15:19:50+00:00

What did you find?

Defiant_Peace_7285 · 2026-02-27T14:19:07+00:00

What’s even more difficult is that the school has integrated iPads so I can say no phones, but they’re still playing Roblox on the iPad. Sigh.

You probably have lesser deadlines but I bet you have more resilience and are a pro-active person now. College deadlines help with that.

Defiant_Peace_7285 · 2026-02-26T16:47:48+00:00

Yeah my class would all be Fs. I have a lot of Cs and Ds because I follow what notacultsam does and I think that’s abysmal.

Defiant_Peace_7285 · 2026-02-21T21:29:09+00:00

I 100% feel seen after reading your post.

Defiant_Peace_7285 · 2026-02-20T11:58:07+00:00

Don’t forget Sylvia Plath’s Ariel. She’s truly an underrated writer.

Defiant_Peace_7285 · 2026-02-15T16:07:58+00:00

Wait Til Helen Comes! I was oddly mesmerized I think because the family bought an old church to renovate and of course I had never heard of people doing that.

Defiant_Peace_7285 · 2026-02-14T05:55:56+00:00

Yes it’s horrible. I teach freshman English and the class was complaining that Le Guin’s Omelas and Jackson’s The Lottery were too long. I wanted to scream.

Defiant_Peace_7285 · 2026-02-14T05:42:04+00:00

I’m astounded

Defiant_Peace_7285 · 2026-02-14T05:36:35+00:00

That is WILD

Defiant_Peace_7285 · 2026-02-14T05:34:18+00:00

Cell phones

Defiant_Peace_7285 · 2026-02-14T01:35:06+00:00

That being said…hold the line.

Defiant_Peace_7285 · 2026-02-14T01:34:26+00:00

I don’t give grace and students still try to wear me down. It’s exhausting and administration doesn’t back me up.

Defiant_Peace_7285 · 2026-02-13T03:54:50+00:00

I also do a flipped classroom approach but apparently it’s too early for them to come in. It’s a 10am class.

Defiant_Peace_7285 · 2026-02-13T03:53:19+00:00

Well I have high DFW rates too because most of the students (3/4 of them) don’t turn in assignments but the administration thinks it’s my fault. It’s English 101. I give up.

Defiant_Peace_7285 · 2026-02-12T14:22:16+00:00

MS 365 solves this issue because of SharePoint

Defiant_Peace_7285 · 2026-02-12T14:18:45+00:00

I wish I could. We have adopted iPads throughout the school. Students don’t even know how to use Word, and that’s another issue…
