actual criticisms of academia:

cost of education acting as class barrier

exploitation of graduate workers

colonialist past and present

ties to military industrial complex

danger of power structure entrenching and justifying orthodox views on social issues

criticisms of academia that get made:

those damn ivory tower academics are wasting money learning about things

I can’t properly express how important the difference between possums and opossums is. Whenever I hear someone say “I like possums” (like my ex) I think there’s no possible way they can mean that. Opossums are North America’s only marsupial, the little guys with the white faces.

Possums live in marsupial central, Australia, where they belong—with the rest of the creatures created by neither god nor man, only the deeply disturbing number of coincidences called evolution.

If you haven't watched FMA 03, then you have exactly one week to watch it before we can no longer be friends.

If you refuse to watch FMA 03, then we can no longer be friends.

If you tell people to skip FMA 03, then we can no longer be friends.

If you have not seen Conqueror of Shambala, then you have exactly three hours to change that before we can no longer be friends.

I bet I could make a better Minecraft movie than whatever the trailer is showing.

I have no prior experience in film, but I know the stage and I've played Minecraft since just after the Beta and Alpha releases.

Let's not even bet on it. I'm 100% certain that I can make an even better Minecraft movie with what I have

Being a little too cold: brrrr i’m a little too cold !!!

Being a little too warm: i am going to kill the next person who makes eye contact with me.

Welp .... Looks like today brought me bad luck. Now my laptop won't work so I'm using my phone 🙄🙄🙄.

Hey! 4th grade teacher, here. May I start by saying how good it makes me feel that we can have a discussion about teaching methods involving all kinds of thoughts and opinions? I appreciate talking through pros and cons of these different methods, since we (teachers) basically steal what works well and use that to help the full spectrum of our kiddos.

I have students who love all 3 ways to do multi-digit multiplication I’ve seen in this post. The goal is for the kids to find a method that works for them. I feel that the “new maths” box method is just a stepping stone for kids to understand the distributive method. The standard algorithm ends up being nice for kids who memorize processes easier, while the box and distributive methods lend themselves to mental math. The box method also helps kids understand multiplication through the lens of place value and gives a visual representation, so I appreciate that for my visual learners. All in all, use the method you like the most. ☺️

Also, that video pisses me the hell off, since the person using the standard algorithm isn’t explaining each step and why each step is important to understanding the whole problem, as the person using the box method is being forced to do. They aren’t comparing apples to apples, so fuck them.

i looked up New Math after reblogging a recent post that explained it and gosh… is this really what Math is nowadays… please tell me this is only one method and not the prescribed mandatory method students have to deal with cause the Old Math method is not only quicker but also, efficient. and when you reach higher levels of Math, the New Math Method will screw you over tenfold because of how long the process is omg
