"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

At least the instant summer has abated slightly. I just can't deal with summer when it gets dropped on me like an anvil.

Word. But have you heard about tomorrow?

From looking at those requirements, it looks like what they're requiring for each level is that you know one level higher than what you'd probably be teaching, and that you know the subjects that are the more abstract concepts behind the more concrete things you'd be teaching.

Yeah, that totally makes sense. I'm just worried about my brushing-up skills. Well, I'll download the test booklet and then see if I can't send out feelers to other people in the program about a study group (maybe email my advisor, since he seems to be the math-teacher-advisor-at-large). And we'll see.

So. point. Um, teachers not knowing the subject they teach=bad. Teachers who know the subject but cannot teach=bad. Or something.

Word. Was the not-knowing-algebra teacher good at teaching otherwise? Or could you not tell? I've heard a whole lot of horror stories about people who knew their subject but couldn't teach to save their lives. That's actually why I'm doing this -- because my CS teachers mostly couldn't teach, and it got me thinking.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So they didn't get the memo that they were supposed to teach gym?

Wow, those are pretty. But no! I don't need one! Really....

Plus, isn't Coke a spermicide?

No! I watched the Mythbusters on that one. Apparently it's a really good chrome cleaner, but that's about the only myth they proved.

I'm missing the joke. I hate it when I miss the joke. Please to explain?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It offered me shipping of $4.60, $5.60, and $30. Yeah, uhuh, practical. I only really want one $2.99 skin.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There's got to be some commercial label you can buy in a store, print on, and cut out. Got to!

Uncoincidentally, yes.

That's just....I don't know. For some reason I have a hard time imagining a whole hand bruise.Yes, even with the pictures. My brain wants to call my eyes liars. Fingers, sure, knuckles, yeah. But a whole hand? But then, I'm unversed in the whole grappling/sparring/striking thing.

Or could you not tell?

Couldn't tell. HOWEVER, she showed a lack of creativity, flexibility and hell, initiative, so which doesn't bode well for her teaching skills.

It's something along the lines of, "Those who can't do, teach. Those who can't teach, teach gym." I think?

The advantage these have over the commercial labels I'm familiar with is that they come off cleanly. Also, they're slick. To the touch, I mean.

For some reason I have a hard time imagining a whole hand bruise.

See, I was there, getting slapped repeatedly ON MY INNER THIGH (I'm never having sex again, am I?) and it didn't occur to me that I'd end up with that clear forensic evidence in broken blood vessels.
