Morning Ritual with Gully.

Never was an alarm loathed more than this morning. #edusky

For all of my teachers out there, without realizing, I apparently coined a new term yesterday: "class-rotting" Similar to "bed-rotting," but this involves sleeping, zoning out, etc in a classroom. My students immediately knew what I was referencing 🤦🏻‍♀️😂🤷🏻‍♀️ #edusky #merriamwebster

I would just like to share that one of my students submitted the entire lyrics to the Captain Planet theme song for an assignment...and thought I wouldn't notice. 🤦🏻‍♀️💀🫠 #edusky #teacher #highschool

Overcast, rainy, coolish all day? While I write 3 essays for a teacher PD class?? Yes, please!

Today and yesterday have possessed a level of nonsense I was not expecting, so I would like to politely ask tomorrow, Wednesday, to take a deep breath and a chill pill.

Midterm exams. Unit writing assignments. Full day of school. Then a 20 minute break after dismissal before parent-teacher conferences begin...and go until 7pm. Then while there is no school tomorrow, teachers must report back before 8am. Very few of us even live in the town. #edusky

THIS. When I had to discuss readers critical theory in my undergrad, I railed against it, because it removes the author's agency and intentions.

Of course! We all deserve to have our work seen for what we intend it to be without anyone imposing their own preferences on it.

Today is the Autumnal Equinox, which means it's the first day of Fall, and though weather will be the usual hot mess in South Carolina...

Once again, I'm asking about the return policy on Mondays.

Fat Bear Booty - can anyone identify?

Our little white bear is back! Nicknames?

I just want ANY explanation for why only 8 of the 23 students in one of my classes turned in their unit essays, after I gave them all 2 extra days, did individual writing conferences, and gave them entire class periods to write. #edusky #teacher

Today marks the 150th birthday or J. J. R. Macleod, the Aberdeen-educated professor who co-discovered insulin. His legacy was marred by accusations of claiming more credit than he was due, but recent research laid out in our forthcoming book restores his reputation. www.abdn.ac.uk/news/26067/

Apparently we've got a very rare and expensive cask of amontillado in our collection, whatever that is. We're going to try find it and will report back.
