Taking it a step further, one Texas high school is now forcing kids to only wear clothes in their color season: “Look, clashing with your God-given undertones is a gateway to clashing with your superiors. That’s just science.”
Sometimes two charismatic preteen girls set up a table near the entrance of my building and sell cookies or lemonade. I think it’s so impressive that young people today can so effortlessly bully me into never wanting to leave the house again! Truly inspiring!
If I ever have kids, I bet my parenting style will be like my gardening style: Largely neglectful, BUT I will not hesitate to rip my little one’s head off to encourage their growth. It’s called balance! 😼😎🥀
mildly entertaining to me how parents' "be good today" spiels have changed in the pandemic. just now heard: "today you'll listen to mommy, you'll be respectful, and we won't touch our face."
@LizNeeley As an evaluator I've had some really magical moments connecting w/ folks about the impact of a program/exhibit. When you view eval as part of the "interaction" rather than a cold "post-interaction" activity, it can serve to both document the magic and reinforce it.
I once joked with a manager that I was paid so little at that job at the time that I couldn't take a new job for fear of losing my income-based repayment options for my student loans. She responded, almost with an air of pride, "Oh, well we can keep you poor!"
I'll go first: When visitors leaving a newly acquired exhibit all seem a little... off, a museum evaluator finds herself searching for evidence of a curator's sinister plan. Things take a turn when repeat visitors begin leaving behind collections of their own...
@MuseumWannabe Research and evaluation - we gather data from/about/with people [visitors, community members, online users, etc.] to inform improvements and decision-making. Not just in learning/exhibitions, but sometimes for marketing, visitor services, community engagement, and on and on.
