Senior school teachers, let’s be sure to teach our students the difference between citations and references.

Thinking they’re the same thing is kind of like thinking that car keys are the same as a car: they’re quite different... but each is kind of useless without the other.

If we truly believe that teachers are the guardians of civilization, then it would be hard to imagine a classroom or course that couldn't incorporate this film into its program.

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

If you're wondering how climate change is a justice issue, here's a very short + simple explanation: it disproportionately affects the poor, vulnerable, and marginalized and puts at risk our ability to achieve every extremely basic goal on this list. It's a Threat Multiplier.

This should be illegal.

Would you want a surgeon who "chegged" their way through school? How about a lawyer? Teacher?

Would you hire someone who paid $14.95/month to buy their degree?

@Chegg exploits, enables, and encourages academic dishonesty.

This one man has done so much to change the trajectory of civilization that he has changed my philosophy of teaching.

Every student is a potential "one man" who could someday change the world. We must do our utmost to nudge them towards that possibility.

Extensions don't provide "more" time to work on an assignment, they just provide "later" time.

"Later" time might be just what the student needs... but this isn't always the case.
