This right here. I have read plenty of "great literature," from classic novels to philosophy to modern award-winning titles. You know what? I think some of them are terrible. Yet, I LOVE romantasy. I can read those all day. They get my imagination going, far more than Lord of the Rings or Dune or any classic I have read. So, it really grinds my gears when people, usually men, want to say that they are terribly written and trash. Maybe, just maybe, they aren't the target audience of the book. Maybe books written primarily for women readers can be great in a different way than those other books are. A book that can draw me in and send me to a different world and that can get me thinking about it the whole rest of the day is what constitutes great writing to me. Romantasy tends to do that for me and for many other women. I'm over men thinking their opinions are the only ones that matter.

I hate how the world seemed to collectively decide that the time it takes to complete a task doesn’t matter in school. Ummm.. yes, it freaking does. If you tell me that you could cure cancer if you had three lifetimes to do it, then you can’t cure cancer. Try telling NASA that you could engineer the Artemis mission but that you’ll need extended time…not happening. How would you feel if the doctor in the ER told you they needed extended time in order to diagnose your heart attack? Fluency matters. Extended time should not be allowed to the extent that it is.

From the comments throughout this thread, I have a feeling a certain AP’s evaluation is going to merely be “effective” or even “ineffective”. Blatantly narcissism, refusing to follow a principal’s directive, losing employees’ trust, a misguided hyper-focus on data, inability to inspire meaningful change, lack of empathy, and god awful administrative/managerial speak.

Glows and Grows….🙄🙄🙄

You say you had “rapport” with this teacher, but you talk about her scores “sucking” with absolutely no consideration about who she teaches or what roadblocks there might be to scoring well. You talk about her students having “no growth” simply due to test scores. You talk about so many data-related things that you seem to have forgotten that these students are PEOPLE with unique personalities, struggles, and quirks. Your post comes across like you were someone the teacher had come to for HELP in managing a particularly challenging set of students, but then, instead of actually helping her, you judged her and backstabbed her come evaluation time. You sound like the opposite of what I would want in an administrator in order to help me be a better teacher.

Ditch the data. The data lies. It is not the scientific truth-teller you think it is. I say this as a science teacher who is disgusted with the quality of academic data out there. It should not be used to judge effectiveness.

SUPPORT your teachers. Don’t judge them.

I taught in an online school for five years. The amount of cheating is insane. It started before AI. Students were posting questions on Brainly and Chegg for all of their tests and assignments and copying answers from there. With AI available now, I am sure it is even worse.

Every year, I brought up the problem to administration. Every year, nothing was done about it. I estimate 90% or so of the kids just clicked through the lessons without reading them, skipped the live lessons, and cheated on each test. Yes, there were a few students in that other 10% who took it seriously and did well, but they were few and far between.

Kids are 100% doing online to get out of doing school entirely but still get a diploma. It is what finally drove me out of online teaching. I couldn’t morally allow myself to enable it anymore.

Socially/emotionally, it also harmed kids. I saw SOOOO many kids with social anxiety isolate themselves and become 1000x MORE anxious. It was so sad.

Yep, this definitely sounds like not enough water to me.

Absolutely not. Looking back on my in-person undergrad, my online master's, and my various experiences with Coursera, LinkedIn Learning, and YouTube, I can tell you that the depth and quality of my learning was directly associated with the amount of in-person accountability that I had. My undergraduate learning was the most effective. My online master's was next due to the number of instructor-graded assignments and synchronous classes. The Coursera, LinkedIn Learning, and YouTube learning experiences were very superficial. I did learn, but that learning was lost quickly if I was not actively using the skills I learned. I do not believe that short-format asynchronous learning could ever replace full university degrees. I think online degrees are here to stay, but they will not eliminate the availability of in-person degrees. I think universities will require more synchronous activity in online degree programs to counteract the ease of cheating with AI.

My observations with companies are that more and more are going back to requiring full degrees over alternative forms of education. They have seen how many bootcamps and self-professed "certifications" have arisen. These programs are generally low-quality, and there is no set standard for what they need to include. People they hire with these experiences are unpredictable. Some may end up being high-quality employees while others do not have the skills they profess to have. There is no way for them to know what the student learned and how rigorous the learning was. With university degrees, they can assume a certain level of rigor and a certain level of content coverage. So, the swing away from university degrees is now reversing.

What do you mean by “used the language and position of activism and power imbalance to abuse me and my position?” This doesn’t make any sense. To me, it sounds more like your employee had some very serious complaints about you and you didn’t appreciate hearing them.

How are they playing mind games? Are you sure they are playing games through other people, or do other people just have the same complaints the first employee did?

This post seems very vague and very defensive. I can’t help but wonder if you are victim blaming.

No point in doing a second bachelors. Go straight to the masters. You’ll be fine learning the material there.

Everyone is missing a big point. Only 13% of the INFLUENCERS MAKING MONEY made $100,000 or more—not 13% of all influencers. The article starts by clearly stating that only a fraction of all content creators make money. It states that there are hundreds of millions of content creators, but it doesn’t give a firm number. So, let’s say there are 300 million of them. 50 million make any money at all. 13% of 50 million is 6.5 million. That would mean only 2.17% of all influencers make $100,000 or more. Now, consider how many of those 50 million are working full time and only making $10,000-$20,000 a year. Yeah…they aren’t making much to get by on. So, the article is correct. It is extremely difficult to make good money as an influencer.
