@OMG_Paladin 😂 That was a good year.

If all you ever choose to do is things you already can, then will you ever do anything worth doing?

[Mr. Hood @LearnfromdaHood]

McKenzie: I have a great idea!
Kaylee: I hope it’s not stupid.

Definitely my kid!

This is how the world outside of the US feels about COVID.

[Mr. Hood @LearnfromdaHood]

Don’t blame others, your parents, your school, “the system,” or the world for your dreams not coming true if you haven’t done the work to make them come true. You are the only one responsible for your future.

While discussing an assigned reading with online students, one student’s comment almost left me speechless: “I had the pdf open for like four hours, so I feel like I have read it.” 😭🤣😭

[Mr. Hood @LearnfromdaHood]

@_jessicateeple If all those things are taken into consideration, is there any place for logic at all?

[Mr. Hood @LearnfromdaHood]

When logic is applied to one situation or circumstance, and the same line of reasoning can be applied to other circumstances, should it? Opinions welcome.

[Mr. Hood @LearnfromdaHood]

Face it, everyone has it hard. Someone else’s hardships may be different than yours, but acknowledging that doesn’t make your hardships less important. You don’t even have to agree with the person on ANYTHING. Just recognize that they have struggles too, and be kind.

This is worth a watch on this quarantined Easter. https://t.co/e47YOTKu1z

As an American living in Kenya, I have to ask, ”Why are Americans stockpiling toilet paper like it was a dysentery pandemic instead of a respiratory one?” Seriously, Africans are laughing at you (I am too if I am being honest)! 😈

[Mr. Hood @LearnfromdaHood]

Look up actual statistics for those things. Use this time to become better informed about the things you hold to be ”facts,” which are in reality most likely opinions that someone put out there that you have bought into. Let me know what you come up with. 😁

[Mr. Hood @LearnfromdaHood]

I have an idea for all of you that are quarantined: go look up the other side of an issue you ”feel” passionate about. See what the people you do not typically hear actually have to say. Be intellectually fairminded enough to actually try to understand what they are saying.

[Mr. Hood @LearnfromdaHood]

Sounds about right for every “theory” or model I’ve seen in biology, and science in general it seems.

[Mr. Hood @LearnfromdaHood]

“...[T]he unwritten rules of “simple models for biology.” First, the model should be general enough that the predictions are vague and unsatisfying. Second, if you must compare with experimental data,

[Mr. Hood @LearnfromdaHood]

do it on a logarithmic scale so that huge differences between theory and experiment at least look tiny. Third, if possible, make the mathematical model so abstract that it loses all connection to the actual biology.”

“The stereotype of a fully rational and objective ‘scientific method,’ with individual scientists as logical (and interchangeable) robots, is self-serving mythology.” ~ S.J. Gould

[Mr. Hood @LearnfromdaHood]

Well, long time no type Twitterverse. I will be starting a new endeavor this year: teach AP English Language and Composition for the very first time with no official training. Please pray for all my students. 😂

[Mr. Hood @LearnfromdaHood]

@_jessicateeple It’s okay, I’m sure they replaced them with the scoreboard money. 😜
