Reframing

Posted on August 25, 2021 by tabulacandida
A: How are you doing?
B: I don't know how I can possibly have everything ready to start teaching next week.
A: Maybe you should try reframing. What if instead of thinking of it as “fall course prep” you thought of it as “pumpkin spice syllabus time?”
B: … If this works I will never forgive you.

It’s not “fall semester,” it’s “cozy sweater learning time.”

Questions

Posted on October 4, 2020 by tabulacandida

Student (in online class): Why do people say “The chickens come home to roost” like it's a bad thing. Isn't that what you want your chickens to do?
Teacher: I meant does anyone have any questions about class readings or assignments.
Student: And what about “Your goose is cooked?” Who wants raw goose?

This class is for the birds.
