Hey speaking of, is everyone else making their finals normal-hard still this year?

I think I'll let the kids substitute a performance piece if they want to.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

How are they supposed to perform math???

[hotfrosty bobby drake ❄️ has a perfect attendance rate.]

That's their problem?

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Por supuesto. Why wouldn't they be?

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

Because we haven’t been around a lot this semester. But a lack of guidance doesn’t mean standards are lowered in the real world.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

They had guidance. Just not from us. [...] But perhaps minor adjustments could be warranted.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

How terrible are you all normally to them?

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

I always think it’s fine but they always say it’s impossible

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

You may or may not be smarter than your average student.

If anyone says they wish you were dead it's cuz I told 'em if you died they'd get to skip finals.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

Ok well first of all this isn’t even true and it’s in my will to still give them a final if I die

[blindcut remy lebeau 🃏 gambit]

I was trying to cheer them up.

Might be nice to give them the tiniest break this year. Give yourself a break, too. [...] I always thought your exams were challenging in a good way, though.

Let me know if there's anything I can help them focus on in tutoring.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

Realistic challenge is what I go for! [...] It's not giving me a break. But I can think about it. I'll let you know what we end up covering, for sure.

[shake_it_off Paige Guthrie 🌻 Husk]

Just figure it might be slightly less prep work if the exam's a little less hard? [...] You know best, though.

Thanks! I've already started prepping materials for them but it's easy enough to add or remove things.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

Yes. If half the students fail, grade on a curve. And let them know it.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

Okay, this was my initial thought actually. Wouldn't it just be cheating them to dumb it down?

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

Exactly. And it's good for them to come out of a exam feeling like they failed. It pushes them to work harder next time.

the new Top Gun movie made my students more competitive than ever, they ain't going to forgive me if i treat it like a bird course.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

See! That's exactly the spirit we have to cultivate. Also I had no idea there was more than one Top Gun movie.

[hits_different sam guthrie 💥 cannonball]

the new one's about if we spent all our time and government's money training our students to take down Unus the Untouchable and then at the last minute we say all of that was for nothing and we do it ourselves because none of them would have been good enough. and we do it with moustaches.

[blauerdamon kurt wagner ⚔️ nightcrawler]

I'm going to make them demonstrate whatever Remy taught them if they want to pass.

[blindcut remy lebeau 🃏 gambit]

Magic tricks. And the kids'll fool you every time.

[blauerdamon kurt wagner ⚔️ nightcrawler]

I have noticed an increase in how sneaky and untrustworthy they've become.

[glovedup rogue]

Gonna be like Easter exploded at the opera all them rabbits and hats running around here.
