A reminder that turning in assignments for partial credit is better than not turning them in at all. It is. Even if you think you’ve done a bad job and are ashamed of your work, or it’s way overdue, you take whatever you can get. Partial credit dramatically improves your grade over a zero, and I’m always astounded by how often even the smartest kids don’t really comprehend that. 60% is worlds better than 0%. Even 10% is going to help you. Letter grades are misleading and are not created equal. “F"s are mathematically valuable. Turn that late assignment in.
Please, all new teachers and TAs, don’t be that person who decides you’re going to keep your students in line with a strict ‘no late assignments’ policy. Yes, I know the ‘real world’ has a stricter policy on deadlines than grade school or college does, but encouraging your students to do their work is a more important way to prepare them for the rest of their lives than punishing them for making poor time management decisions. When I started teaching intro Microbiology labs, I put all of my discretionary points into penalizing lateness and unfair division of labwork between partners, because the goal of teaching is to make sure the children are there for the lectures and physically doing the things they need to learn. A 30, 40, or 50% penalty to the grade is more than enough to make your point about meeting deadlines.
A 100% penalty just encourages your students to completely give up if they’ve made a bad choice. Maybe that’s really good at teaching respect for deadlines (and maybe it isn’t) but if that student doesn’t do that work, you’ve missed the most important teaching moment of all: the one where your student was supposed to commit to their education on their own time and learn the material you’re actually supposed to be teaching them, especially if that material is difficult or uninteresting to them.

ur gonna die anyway so get that fucking tattoo ur parents and friends hate and eat whatever u want
“You’re gonna die anyway, so just set your house on fire and drink snake venom.” This is like the worst life philosophy and you can use it to justify anything.
ok like not to rain on ur parade but getting a tattoo and eating some fries are very different than setting ur house on fire and drinking venom like I see where ur coming from but we were only going like 25 mph u didn’t need to accelerate it to 120 in a second lmao
so a racist got utterly demolished in less than 30 seconds on the New Zealand morning news on Monday and it’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen
who knew a white guy could be capable of such an iconic response, he knows what’s up and is having none of that shit, every other white guy take notes tbhI love that he said Pakeha
Can someone write what its being said in this?
Male co-host: We have had a whole heap of feedback regarding
Te Tai Tokerau MP Kelvin Davis’s proposal to institute a prison run on Māori
values into New Zealand. He’s looking at potentially establishing this prison
up north. It isn’t Labour policy just yet, it’s just an idea of Kelvin Davis’s.
And this has been really really divisive on our Facebook page this morning. (sarcastically)
Here I think we have the single greatest email, the single greatest message we
have ever had on breakfast.(clears throat deliberately) “’Janice’ says: Good morning. I’m
sick of hearing that Māori need different treatment. If they don’t want to live
in our society, then maybe we should put them all on an island and leave them
to it.”Male co-host: “Janice. That is LITERALLY what happened! That
is the history of our country. Last I checked, Māori WERE on an island, they
were left to it, and then Pākehā (Māori term for white New Zealanders) turned
up and look how that worked out. But thank you very much for that brilliant
insight. Goodness me. Unbelievable. Unbelievable, they actually-“Female co-host: “Actually, you can’t even get angry, you
just actually need to laugh and then screw it up and put it under the desk.
Just when you thought-“Male co-host: (mimicking letter) “’Put them all on an
island, leave them to it.’ Yeah. What a great idea that is Janice.I really need “What a great idea that is, Janice.” to be a meme filled with those stupid complete cognitive dissonance bigoted statements.
my sister just told me that technically kangaroos have five limbs because their tail is classified as a leg bc they use that to propel themselves forward which makes them the only pentapedal animal on earth
she just told me that there’s a frog that literally grow a spiky moustache and goes and fights other male frogs for a gf
turns out flamingos aren’t actually pink. they’re born grey but turn pink from the shrimp they eat
so my dudes,,, it turns out theres a flower that only blooms every couple years, and ik what ur thinking “wow it must be beautiful”. turns out it smells like fucking corpses!!! what!! the fuck!!!
my best friend just told me that frogs use their eyeballs to swallow their food by retracting them into their head and pushing the food down and honestly?? the most horrific thing ive ever heard
the best part is that this is all true
