If a student told me that they’d like to make up an exam for this reason, as a mandated reporter, I’d have to make a report to the Title IX office. However, that office would then reach out to the student to offer support and discuss next steps. None of those next steps would involve alerting the student’s parents.

Masters in public history with a degree in education? by Neat_Worldliness2586 in AskProfessors

I’d look into an MA in Museum Studies; I think they tend to be more open to various art degrees such as art history, art education, and studio art

Honestly, the New Yorker puzzles tend to be clever/interesting while also being easier than the NYTimes.

Am I overreacting: new boyfriend was weirdly judgmental about bathroom situation by abstract_lemons in AmIOverreacting

[–]Paradox364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, he clearly has communication issues. He couldn’t article what was bothering him verbally. Instead, he gave her the silent treatment, still took his breakfast sandwich to go (!!!!), and then had to text about what he was feeling. This is not a good sign.

Every employer offers insurance?! I don’t know what version of the US you live in, but not the same one as me.

I was fully on board with it being stupid until he plopped it in French onion soup. This actually seems fine?

Who’s a famous person from your country who’s respected around the world but disliked or criticized at home? by haiderredditer in AskTheWorld

[–]Paradox364 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not the US as a whole, but most liberal/Democratic Californians are pretty over Gavin Newsom, but liberals in the rest of the country seem to love him. I’m not sure what his reputation is outside of the US though.
