@jmdenouden I hold on to this one just in case. Good luck!

@jessrogers2369 @hell_line0 Plus if she has a doctorate, then she's published at least one scholarly paper, possibly more. If that work is published under her maiden name, then changing her name causes her to lose access to being credited professionally for that work.

He should have asked earlier.

@gothamteacher @teachbk I do something similar. What excerpts do you use? The Brevísima is so not breve that I don't know where to start. I usually just use a couple of points from the Junta de Valladolid with Sepúlveda, but it's so dense it's hard to work with. Suggestions?

[J Robinson @ProfeJRob]

@teachbk I have them read from the entry from the Wednesday before they reach land through the full day of initial contact. We also read some Bartolomé, Cabeza de Vaca, Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, and Poma de Ayala (more examine the art than read on this one). Makes for a nice arc.

@teachbk I have my heritage speakers class read his own journals with a critical eye. His own words condemn him without me having to say much. "They're quick to do whatever we ask them. They'll make excellent servants." Uhhh... what? "They don't know what swords are." Again, what?

@adamboxer1 @HeroicMrT @TeaLadyJune It's admittedly anecdotal, so it's not as solid as more measurable influences, but the effect is real if done right. -*-*- Search your feelings! Turn to the dark side! 🤣

@adamboxer1 @HeroicMrT @TeaLadyJune It's no panacea, but very little is. I get more out of kids in my classroom from showing up, being sincerely interested in them and their lives, cheering for their successes, and and not talking down to them than I ever have from any shift in discipline policy or implementation.

[J Robinson @ProfeJRob]

@adamboxer1 @HeroicMrT @TeaLadyJune You don't have to coach. I'd actually recommend against that. Most kids don't need another adult over them telling them to quit screwing up. They need someone to cheer for them. In my experience they're usually grateful enough that they make more effort in class.

[J Robinson @ProfeJRob]

@teachbk I remember seeing research agreed so that compared children whose parents correct them with kids whose parents don't. No difference in language acquisition, just that kids who were corrected had higher levels of anxiety.

@saltysquidswife @RAD_is_awesome And why you need a grad degree to get a job anymore.

[J Robinson @ProfeJRob]

@SusanGroff1 @meghanalyons @educator4ever36 Lol. No cap. Taught at a private 9-12 high school once where a parent gave a bottle of wine to each of her kid's teachers. It may or may not have been an admission of guilt. 🤣

@sage_stage Let the attacks begin! Pile on! 😁

[J Robinson @ProfeJRob]

@sage_stage get the scores you need on the high-stakes tests at the end of the year. But the unintended consequence is students who will not engage and will not try. We've done this to ourselves. We need to ditch the tests and possibly ditch grading and reconsider the framework we use. 6/6

@JEM_el_tarasco @krassenstein Lol. There was no mandate. There very rarely is. This time around, if "Didn't Vote" were a candidate, they would have won in a landslide. The mandate was that both parties/candidates suck.
