I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me
These policies can help to improve the mental health of students
If the point is for the children to learn, then why wouldn’t you give them as many chances as it takes? What is the benefit of telling a child “you failed and that’s the end of it”?
I’m 25, and in my trade school, our tests aren’t judgement, they’re testing to see what we’ve retained, and identify what we’re missing.
If I weld a joint, and the CWI comes up behind me with a radiographic test for it and finds that I just laid hot metal on cold metal or it looks like a sponge inside, you know what’s gonna happen? You think they’re gonna give me a low score and tell me to move on? Fuck no. They’re gonna hand me a grinder and tell me to take it out and put it in right.
When there’s actual work to be done, we don’t leave it at the first attempt if that attempt was shit. We don’t leave a trail of “what’s done is done.” If it takes you four attempts, that’s what it takes, and next time it’ll take fewer because you learned how to do it right after the third time.
School, as it’s set up, with unforgiving deadlines and single attempt high stakes tests are building a shitty work ethic. It says “I tried once, and that’s all you’re getting.” It sets you up to leave a trail of cut losses and barely or unfinished projects as you scramble to get something, anything, turned in before the deadline.
And we wonder now why nothing works at launch.

First post ever on Tumblr reblog
having online friends is so wild
Like you're *so* far from me but I get to talk to you in real time.
Before the internet, it'd be basically impossible for us to meet because the chances of us visiting the place the other lives is so low. And now we get to be friends and talk so casually to people So Far Away.
it is truly revolutionary that we can be so connected with people that are again, so far away.
Mail takes so long to be delivered and now I just get to reach into my pocket and hear about the daily struggles and joys of your life??? I can just read about the daily rituals you have that carve out the shape of your life???? I get to be a part of your life. From all the way over here.
i feel like tumblr users are the only ones who don’t use ai. everyone else would fuck chatgpt if they could
what they don't tell you about hadestown is that orpheus and eurydice are not the main characters. neither are persephone and hades. or hermes. or the fates. the main character is whoever in the band is playing the trombone because holy fuck
I just noticed my darling baby boy (cat) sitting in his little loft bed about 5 inches away from the most delightful sunbeam, so I scooted it into the sunlight for him and he looked me with the biggest widest expression. I don’t think he knew that was an option. I think I just blew his whole little mind
HOLY SHIT MY BOY
