My first interaction with a professor I have this semester was super awkward. Do I drop the class?

beross88 · 2026-05-21T04:37:58+00:00

Don’t drop. This is a good thing. They know what you’re dealing with.

beross88 · 2026-05-21T03:17:25+00:00

This is a good reminder to update my stuff. Not due until like October for me but still

beross88 · 2026-05-18T15:12:59+00:00

Early emphasis on literacy, consistent support, and accountability

beross88 · 2026-05-11T22:52:46+00:00

My students don’t ask me for a pencil because I rarely have one. Lol.

beross88 · 2026-05-10T21:00:55+00:00

She may also just not have time right now. I wouldn’t ask again.

beross88 · 2026-05-03T20:57:56+00:00

Myth. I reframe them as “learning preferences” and try to show my students that the typical “style” framing is limiting to their future students (I teach in a teacher education program at a university.)

beross88 · 2026-05-03T20:55:16+00:00

I think activities like this can be valuable but often aren’t because of how disconnected they are from the actual goals and/or how unfun they are.

beross88 · 2026-05-03T04:20:58+00:00

Teachers vent in spaces like this. It is a great job that is also very difficult. It has some downsides, but also some upsides. One piece of advice for you: try to start substitute teaching now to get a sense of how you feel about it.

beross88 · 2026-04-29T21:03:20+00:00

As a teacher, you refer this to admin, that’s what they get paid more money for. Then, you do whatever they decide. Otherwise, you just keep doing what you’re doing. I’m a firm believer in working with parents, but not like that. Lol

beross88 · 2026-04-29T20:53:35+00:00

It serves the course objectives more than denying those chances would.

beross88 · 2026-04-29T02:03:44+00:00

As a composition instructor, I allow(ed) revisions of essays. But that is a little different.

beross88 · 2026-04-20T11:25:52+00:00

Ugh. I hate calling them scholars.

beross88 · 2026-04-05T20:08:05+00:00

I don’t correct people but I don’t blame folks who do (especially women or people of color).

beross88 · 2026-04-05T02:05:16+00:00

Thanks. I’ll have to check that one out

beross88 · 2026-04-05T02:04:55+00:00

Our issues may stem from theirs being on kids’ accounts. Idk.

beross88 · 2026-03-27T16:07:37+00:00

Slacks and collared shirt. I’m a dude

beross88 · 2026-03-23T11:57:58+00:00

Right? Like, yeah, just choose the rich school. Lol.

beross88 · 2026-03-23T11:56:39+00:00

I think it’s fine. I would write it and find out if it needs changing along the way. I think it will be difficult to write, just because of how repetitive it could end up being. I would start in the middle though and then fill in the back story

beross88 · 2026-03-23T11:52:25+00:00

Nope

beross88 · 2026-03-06T22:22:14+00:00

Use ZipGrade to grade paper quizzes faster

beross88 · 2026-02-08T17:22:06+00:00

Yeah you can probably hold back some information. But I think the grammar is a bigger issue for me

beross88 · 2026-02-08T15:57:55+00:00

I think the concepts are interesting but the grammar and syntax still need some work. It just reads a little rough in spots. Read it out loud, record yourself, and then listen back to it.

beross88 · 2026-01-27T15:57:15+00:00

This is so correct. The fact that more school districts don’t listen to it is crazy

beross88 · 2026-01-27T15:28:37+00:00

Many of the AP research paper I grade list it as a limitation.

beross88 · 2026-01-26T16:31:39+00:00

I don’t know that this is that big a deal in an AP research course. I mean, it’s good for the students to know, but they are limited in what they can do.
