posts.

Just 11 more to go after this and I can't find anything interesting to post on in all the forums (or is that fora?).

Anybody, somebody, start an interesting convo so I can reach that monumental millennial marker.

Please

Do you put your toilet paper so that it rolls from on top or underneath?

damn i was beginning to say phuck yall muthaphuckas cuz I know you see me. I know you see my desperate attempts to reach the ranks of the elite. and none of yall aint posting shit.

and then comes along Azure to rescue the day she ain't post shit but did post something on toilet paper.

i put the toilet paper and paper towels so that they roll from the top... it makes it easier to tear them without unrolling the whole roll.

now only 10 more to go!

Do you miss any orgers that don't post anymore? If so, who?

While it may not be interesting conversation, I think we'll get you to 1,000.

Not really cuz I think most of the folks whose posts I look for are still here.

I am afraid that you will not be reaching 1,000 posts anytime soon with my help... lol.

I gave it a shot...

What are your favorite aspects of teaching? I know that I personally love the interaction that I get from my students. Perhaps I have a good class- they are very participative and come prepared. Teaching is the highlight of my day!

This thread should help be get to 4,000 myself.

how self serving

NuPwrSoul said:

So you are avoiding us.And we were trying to help

NuPwrSoul said:

It's beneficial to us both.

I love sitting in a classroom full of bright students who are excited by the subject matter, have done their reading, and are ready to go toe to toe with me and their peers in class discussions. Those are the students that shine.

Some of the best debates in class...

Booker T v. W.E.B. and MLK v. Malcolm (tried and true, but still always exciting)

Race v. Gender - prioritizing the fight against oppression, is it possible? is it fair to ask people (usually women and other minority minority groups) to choose which they're loyal to first?

Is Lil Kim a feminist -- that one got me so I couldn't even contain my emotions... dude was arguing that Kim was a feminist hero and I just wasn't tryin to let him put her in the same category as Angela Davis, Joanne Robinson, Ella Baker, Fannie Lou, Ida B... gotta give him props tho cuz he held up well under the weight

Was Tupac this generation's Malcolm Blasphemy! And I came right out and said it. Pretty much shut the conversation down. And I felt bad afterwards and apologized to the student who by then was so afraid she retreated from her position. I felt really bad after that.

BAD and 4LOVE,

Writer's block. Can't think of anything to say at the moment... hmmm.

NuPwrSoul said:

You shouldn't have. Don't kill 'em softly, put the down! What's the name of this class?

NuPwrSoul said:

In a math setting, there really isn't much room for debate, but I can see your point! I absolutely adore the feeling I get when I know that I have just given an effective, clear lecture. Today was a good one! It is just really invigorating.

NuPwrSoul said:

DAMN...
three more i'll be at 1,700 :nod

1,700!!!
3 mo hunnit ta go and i'll have a NEW MILLINIUM.

Supernova said:

One was "Introduction to African-American Studies" and the other was a seminar on Malcolm X.

I'll probably get slammed by that po' chile I shut down when she writes her course evaluation. The whole class seems to think I'm thorough but some of 'em think I bring that STANKNESS

And it's only because I don't let them get away with foolishness. I will call muffukkas out to see if they have done their reading... and you will get embarrassed if you are not prepared.

No free rides in my class. They are enjoying one of the most privileged educations in the country and I don't want them to take anything for granted.

This one kid... privileged frat boy... reported me to the dept. head and asked that his grade be reviewed. The dept head reviewed it and recommended a LOWER grade. Dude came back to me all apologetic and I was like, "Mhm hmm"

EDIT: And this would be my 1,000th post!!!!





Thnx Azure, Supernova, Moonbeam, Bad, 4Love

Gave him a lower grade??? Eggsellent!

yeah and then there was this young woman who thought I graded her paper too harshly. said she was gonna take it home over thanksgiving break and let her mother -- college english professor -- look over it.

i guess i was supposed to be scurred.

she came back after break and was like, umm my moms said that i was lucky it was you grading my paper cuz if she had she would have given it an even lower grade.

NuPwrSoul said:

This would be my 4,000th post! Thanks to all for helping!

anyone notice that all the 's all jump up and down in synchronization?

what's that all about?

NuPwrSoul said:

How old are these students?

Supernova said:
