Speaking of embedding ethics - when the curriculum/schedule demands a separate session...I would love to tell you a story from the days I taught BSchool
I was given the 8am class.I prided myself on being the kind of teacher who ensures retention, but how to ensure punctuality?1/

So, I decided to up the stakes of the first ten minutes. A test, every session, and it adds up to your grade. (I promise you, all the tests/quizzes were actually icebreakers for the session ahead, but of course I did not tell them that!) 2/n Students...

I need to rant, but I allow myself 2 rants a year. it's not been six months yet.
Also, I'm so angry, I'll say things that 'll get me trolled for years. Even if they are true n right. I needed very little encouragement - so given myself a moment to calm down (a rule in life-never act in anger. Show anger, but act after calming down) and am going to spew here, a bit.
Apologies in advance- but this goes ...ah

A reflective short thread - as I see parents struggle with having kids at home.
For years I struggled too, till I changed my way of work.

What is new is our work structures, and demands.

Thread on marks and exams, now that the results are out:
Marks matter only because they are a short cut to the next step of admissions to college. Till the system improves, marks can purchase entry. This matters only to those who are totally focused on one choice 1/ Most students would have a range of options, even be happily confused about their goals in life at this young age. The marks shortcut to next step is not necessarily their path to success. 2/
