Cancer Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 Meanwhile, after the first final exam I've given, there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Second final is in two days. And it had never occurred to me that so many people who not know what a flange was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shared an office with a teacher who did all of her work from school assignments to memos in Comic Sans. She was a band teacher, not that it was an excuse.

Cancer Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 Hm. I use Tahoma a lot, but not for documents whose important parts are merely prose sentences. When math expressions are important, I frequently use it. But people with strong feelings about Comic Sans tend to have stronger feelings about mathematics....

Cancer Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 Quote When I first taught this course, I was offended that there no attempt made to quantitatively describe convection. And an angry instructor is a vindictive instructor, who visits hitherto unimagined problems upon their innocent-for-this-situation students.

Pariah Posted June 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2022 Things You Can't Say as a Teacher, Part 417: Parent: "Why did you fail my child?" Teacher: "Your child made zero effort, showed zero respect for their teachers or classmates, and took zero accountability for their own learning. It's pretty clear they've never been told 'No' in their entire life. I didn't fail your child. You did." Grailknight, tkdguy, Logan D.
