Every time I assign something and a student asks

"Is this for a grade?"

At first I get kind of annoyed. And then I remember that WE did this to them. It's not their fault--they've adapted to our broken system of carrots & sticks

On this day in 1868 W.E.B. Du Bois was born. In 1895, he became the first African American to receive a PhD at Harvard. His dissertation, “The Suppression of the African Slave Trade in the United States of America, 1638-1871,” is part of the Harvard Archives.

A student just signed off an email “thank you for being loving but still scary” and this is the only evaluation I will be submitting for tenure

I said on social media, it's a shame that teachers/schools are celebrating Valentine's Day today; yet there is no mention of Lunar New Year, one of the largest global celebrations; and she said "but many of us don't have Asian students in our class." This is problematic. /1

Girls don't want flowers and chocolates for Valentine's Day, girls want to exit the Underworld without anyone turning around thus sending them back

I made it through chemical engineering undergrad and having a newborn without needing coffee. It was teaching in a pandemic that broke me. Espresso for life!

Roxanne Gay has said and written a lot of important and poignant things throughout the years, and I won’t be stupid enough to rank this one as the most poignant, but it’s also definitely not the least poignant

Back from a hiatus from Twitter as I process the existential crisis that remote teaching inevitably prompts in any educator who has been living this life for 3 months or more. How we doing?
