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?

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

I have to question the academic value of a bunch of teenagers trying to do an interpretive dance about the spiritual concept of like, profit margins.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Por supuesto. Why wouldn't they be?

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

How terrible are you all normally to them?

[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.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

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

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

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

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

Ugh what does that mean.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

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

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

Maybe. But it's still all available in the material!

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Mmhm. These poor children.

I'm just going to give them pages of essay questions.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Making a smaller percentage of the exam pertain to topics covered while you weren't there, for example. Include them, but give them less weight.

Has WRITING an exam ever helped a student anyways? Interpretive dance means they still have to know how to stick movements to the concepts, either way they're studying the material. And I'll have fewer exams to grade, which is mostly why I'm doing it in the first place.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

I'm making them smarter.

Okay, for ethics that makes sense. Lots of pages?

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

If I do this please casually spread the word so they don't call me mean again.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

Writing an exam has obviously helped so many students.
And I like grading exams.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

If I do this, please take it to your grave. I don't want them to think I'm getting soft.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

I'll talk up how you're the tyrant of the music department forever.

[blindcut remy lebeau 🃏 gambit]

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.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

By getting them to hope I died??

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Some of them, maybe. I think you're probably just making most of them hate you.

The teachers each of them love and hate is really a fascinating thing to be privy to.

Many, many pages. Honestly, it's kinder than a standard exam. At least I can grade nicely if I want to.
