@altNOAA My Dad is the youngest of 5 siblings. His mother would run through the whole list before getting to his name.
I only have 1 kid. But sometimes I call him by the cat’s name. 🤪
@WMNarmer @ReadTheSyllabus I’m told that my university tried to do that once, long before I started there. It didn’t work because too many people got confused. Faculty people, not students!
@oom_rl@3vanSutton@GreatDismal I got stuck driving in the Financial District in Boston once - I knew where I needed to go (Kenmore Square), knew exactly how to get there if I were walking, but kept going around in circles because of all the one-way streets!
@MarkFabian_PAIS @ReadTheSyllabus Students often ask me, before class, when's the next exam or how much is it worth, etc. I always keep my syllabus with me so I can pull it out and answer them, since it's different for each class. Those things are very clear in my syllabus, but they still ask.
@DanPatrick@CreightonForTX I just graded a homework set where several students tried to tell me that manta rays are the smartest species on Earth. Please tell me again how professors are indoctrinating our students?
