@Melmaxjoe I grew up using an outhouse. I didn’t have a real bathroom until I went to college. My parents chose to live off the grid. Northern California upbringing.
Stuck in Barcelona because our flight through Munich was cancelled. Earliest flight home we could book was July 30th. Thankful I have friends that can take care of the animals and a beautiful city to spend more time exploring.
How am I as an administrator supposed to make my faculty and students feel safe and valued when society doesn’t seem to? How can I ask my students to be leaders and invested in the common good when so many people in power prioritize self interest over the good of the whole?
@lolennui My mom was in grad school while I was in junior high. She would buy every book from the university book store that was facing forward for me. Her theory was that as long as I was reading it was good. I read Moll Flanders in 7th grade. I am grateful that my mom didn’t censor me.
