If you feel like talking about academic stuff, I'd like to know what you say when you get asked what your family does.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06773608427800201533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099192.post-42782426176398364612007-11-12T11:38:00.000-05:002007-11-12T11:38:00.000-05:00I'm going to deviate from the academic questions '...I'm going to deviate from the academic questions 'cause I'm trying to overwhelm myself with those thoughts just now.

They just want to spend all their time and energy on the best and brightest, the ones we don't have to teach because they critically engage the books and come to class already knowing more than we might teach them. As for those students who don't look right or act right or speak or write correctly, they basically ignore them or castigate them. They spend the rest of their time bemoaning "falling standards." What do you do besides wait for them to retire??<BR/><BR/>Another question on my mind: How do you delicately tell a student you can't give them a recommendation to grad school?Lesboprofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09249806181782620274noreply@blogger.com
