What do you MEAN only one student can check out the ebook of our course textbook from the school library at a time? It’s an EBOOK!!! Why did you tell me students in my class had free access to the textbook without informing me of that caviat? That seems like important information for both me and my students to know??
"Hey how's your day going-"
How do you tell a student "your essay lacked any sort of deep understanding and thought, and the grammar and sentence structure were atrocious enough that I now have a migraine" without being mean? Asking for a friend....
When I contact a parent and they ghost me
It is not my duty as a supervisor to be responding to my students 24/7.
It’s ok to have time off and let them wait until I have time to work and help them with their issues.
I am probably too friendly so they see me more as their peer than supervisor. I have to set the boundaries. I do not have to be available all the time including weekends and evenings.
Today’s webinar about supervising students was very helpful... I have a lot to think about.
Last year my former english teacher was teaching my class adverbs. One of my classmates asked if you could say "calmly".
She said "No, calmly doesn't exist".
My head shot up and "YES IT DOES!" came out of my mouth before I could think.
She then tried arguing with me, stating that it didn't, so I simply told her to type "Dumbledore said" into the Google search bar.
AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW!?
She got all defensive, saying it isn't used often.
BITCH! I don't use the word sphygmomanometer everyday, but that doesn't mean it doESN'T EXIST!!???
Dear students who made their papers fun,
Thank you for giving me something enjoyable during this grading period.
Signed,
The TF that’s already read 30 papers
Why are kids these days always saying things are "subjective"? In the papers I'm grading, on this hellsite... just because disagreement is possible, even reasonable disagreement, doesn't mean it's merely subjective. Saying "it's subjective" just ends the conversation, whether that's about different cultures' standards of morality, different interpretations of texts (including popular movies), or different tastes in art. Chocolate vs. vanilla ice cream, that's subjective. About other things, there are facts that can be agreed on, there are rules of rational engagement, there are interpretive constraints and some basic principles that the interlocutors probably have in common. I'm getting to be as sick of the word "subjective" as I am of "problematic."
