Speaking of teachers, they're currently protesting where I'm at in Mexico.

All the roads are blocked in the state and the public bus service has been suspended, so I'm kind of 'stuck' here for right now.

You first.

I don't believe you ever leave yours, either.

My mitochondrial family is from Westphalia. I am looking for a singularity, are certain group of individuals, in some way or another, destined to be, destined to do? How much of this is borne out of genetic markers and/or archeological/cultural epochs? Clearly sexual bonding and procreation is by far the most important link.

I have a Lonestar ship that takes me through toric spaces curled up in imaginary time. Lonestar tells me where my family treasure is, from From Klondike to El Dorado all the way to Northumbria.

Things I'll never understand: Every couple of years, a student that had a poor performance throughout the semester will freak out when they find out they flunked. Some are downright hostile when they hear the news.

It's not like they couldn't see it coming

I imagine they thought you'd pass them after they slept with you.

Yes I can. He is kind, intelligent, and well liked, everything you are not. Next time you think about coming here and opening your mouth... don't.

Yeah, and they get pretty damn angry when they find out they aren't.

One kid even stole the battery charger of my laptop after he failed the previous semester (with another professor), showed up in my class blaming the previous professor, and even though I told him he should not attend my classes, he also failed my semester (who could've seen this coming?!).

You're too kind! It would've sufficed to say that, unlike him, I'm not a bot

Stealing the charger is funny.

Not to say it's justified but getting a bad grade can be emotionally traumatizing. I actually remember my 3rd grade teacher writing in red ink "POOR" for my cursive hand writing. It wasn't from a lack of trying because to this very day my hand writing is "poor" although it's hard to tell when I'm typing.

Btw, don't let those nice things I said about you go to your head. You could very well be a terrible teacher for all I know.

It is... I was too confused to even be mad

(Until, of course, I had to pay for a new one and found out how much they cost... those things are expensive, yo!)

Hah, I know the feel.

I bitterly remember the one poor grade I had in my entire student life - it was in maths in year 7, and the teacher would punish students for not doing homework (something I've never done). I was so angry I couldn't study in my own terms that I came to hate the subject at the time... And I got 4/10.

I was able to make up for it later on, but even as an 11-year-old I knew I was the one to blame for not being able to deal with the rules, not her.

Haha, I tend to value feedback precisely for this reason. I could be a terrible teacher for all I know

A researcher once analysed my style and said I teach students like I'm their "older brother": I let them do as they please, as long as they learn, often making references to things they already understand no matter how remote to the original topic, and odds are I'll lecture sitting on the table (something that makes shy students usually more at ease).

The researcher approved of my methods because I could "awake" the students that feel alienated with more formal professors, but I know I may irk more traditional students who value order and discipline more than freedom and spontaneity. I'm trying to find a way to have my cake and eat it

Actually, it's probably the one context in which I come close to being a cunt - grading. Mostly for utilitarian reasons. Call me a grading cuntilitarian, if you will.

University courses are designed in such a way that you move from the basics to more advanced topics, and if you don't understand the basics, you won't have mastered the necessary skills to move on. If, therefore, I let students move on regardless of how poorly they do, they'll get stuck later on and hinder the progress of other students because other professors will have to address the issues I should have addressed.

Hippie though I may be, I'm very strict when it comes to grading for this reason. If I have to be a cunt to one person to protect the others, so be it (though, in this case, whoever I'm being a cunt to will eventually benefit from this decision down the road).

Lol, multiple degrees.
