One of the better answers that still is not a correct answer.

@hypolite

Uhhhh.

@darac

Lord no.

@mikemccaffrey @eseubert

Nope. And I find the notion of such punny donuts deeply disturbing.

@dx

Not for tamping down leaves and no one would want that. That's coffee people stuff... the "tamping" (and boy do they get into it... sheeesh)

@melivia

Oh no. Game over. Wow.

@cinebox

Nope.

@NocturnalNessa

Not with Pica around.

@Tzipporah

No, these are stumps.

@eseubert

Nope.

@nora

Nope.

I got one for my husband and he loves it. Can you guess what it's for?

(If you love a 'big red robe' or 'number one factory' you may not participate in this guessing game, just be quiet and see what they say)

When I was working with internet /tech 20 years ago I didn't get this at all. "But why would we want to make them log in the device has an ID that's enough for our purposes."

I must have seemed so naive LMAO. No matter if it's a patch of berries, or some neat new technology some people will look at it and think "I could use this to make people give me money" And that's wild.

Not, "people will really love this and I bet I'll get a lot of money" or "everyone will be impressed with what I did."

I guess that's why this same sort of person hates things like welfare. It's a bit of a mirror, but at the same time it raises the possibility that everyone is deserving. It's a challenge to their exceptional nature.

A high school calculus course.

"They only think about one thing, and it's disgusting."

I'm not talking about sex. I'm talking about rent. And the people who see the world through the rent-seeking lens.

Someone, ideally everyone needs to pay tithes to them, they reason. And not for some ongoing service. Not because of any value they create, but because of value they hold. Value that can never be bought and paid off in full. A nation or king might collect tax, why not me they reason.

I don’t know if I’d use exams in the same way if I could teach however I want— but if I must write an exam, I’m going to create a whole “math experience” — a “math safari” it’s just so much more satisfying when I don’t feel like I’m wasting their time. I think it worked well today!

I’ve taken a few exams that managed to do this— where I walked out knowing more than when I walked in and I vowed to learn the black magic of test writing that could make that happen.

When you have some students who don’t exactly love math (despite your best efforts) but who *do* care about their grades a test or exam can be an opportunity to teach a thing or two. You have their undivided attention and focus for once and with a little planning you can line up a sequence of problems that does a bit more than check off the boxes. Problems that offer an opportunity to see the bigger picture of the subject (even as you ensure the students aren’t surprised by anything too new.)

@svenja No it’s vanilla!

@catmisgivings

I suspect they pick these things up from their parents mostly. It was just very funny to hear a 7th grader knowingly explaining that "that look is quarantine era" and "sleepy casual is OUT"

(to be fair I think she's right about those fuzzy formless jackets. Very lockdown.)
