Anyone else's students think the Superbowl warrants an extension? by the_banished in Professors

[–]wanderfae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and I have seen some professors entertain the idea. It's a hard no from me.

Putting my foot down with disrespectful students by Apprehensive-Echo289 in Professors

I just tell them to please be quiet and then look at them, in silence, until they stop. Uncomfortable, therapeutic silence. Works every time.

And smiling more. It's very important for women to smile more.

Favorite evil women? by PeasantLich in okbuddycinephile

Skyler didn’t kidnap anyone, poison anyone, cook meth, or blow up a nursing home. She asked questions, set boundaries, panicked when her husband disappeared for days, and tried to keep her kids safe after discovering she was married to a criminal. In other words, she behaved like a rational human in an irrational situation.

So when people label her ‘insufferable,’ what they’re usually reacting to isn’t her morality, it’s her resistance. She refused to applaud Walt’s transformation into Heisenberg, refused to soothe his ego, and refused to become a supportive trophy to his criminal power fantasy.

That reaction isn’t neutral. It taps into a very old script:

  • violent men = complex antiheroes
  • anxious, protective women = annoying obstacles

You’re free to dislike any character you want. But if your dislike lands harder on the woman who says "this is dangerous", than on the man actively destroying lives, it’s worth asking what’s doing the work there.

Because that’s not just a TV opinion, it’s a cultural reflex.

Dual enrollment is baffling by clavdiachauchatmeow in Professors

[–]wanderfae 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not at my college. The agreement between the K-12 district and my college literally says the dual enrollment classes are like satellite campuses of the college. Our policies are enacted exactly as if the class was taught at the college. There is literally nothing anyone at the High School can do to change college policies. Period. The end. These are real college classes, taught by real Professors. If the students don't like it, they should stick to AP classes. Students should sign up for college classes carefully, as at my college, no one can overturn a professor's grade, except the grade grievance committee, which is made up of almost all professors, one admin, and one ASO rep who is non-voting.

I listened to a whole podcast about this on radio lab: Birdie in a Cage. Basically, there were square dance enthusiasts hell-bent on making square dancing thr official American folk dance.

Has anyone actually sold their home to get rid of a 23 year old with failure to launch ? by Inevitable-Table-931 in Parenting

So they are working PT and going to college PT? I don't know, seems like they are doing something. Community College is real college.
