Aw, Nora! {{Nora}} You're just stressed. You're not stupid. Promise.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Any time a response to an honest question makes the student feel stupid the Professor is at fault.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Just to play devil's advocate, that ain't necessarily true. I don't think Nora's prof is being helpful (esp. with question #1 -- @@) but I can and have told students things like "We covered this question. It should be in your notes. If not, it's your responsibility to look it up in the MLA manual."
Just so I don't come off as a total bitch: if they're STILL lost, I'd clarify.

Ugh, what they said, Nora. At least once a day someone calls me and tells me they need to ask a "stupid question." It's not stupid to ask a question when you want to know the answer! If you knew the answer, or didn't care, you wouldn't ask.
And so much What Scrappy Said!

I'm thinking you don't say it in a way that makes your students feel stupid and stressed. That is the problem I have with Nora's teacher.

True, Erin. I don't call what you described as an honest question, though. That's someone being lazy and trying to use the prof instead of doing their own work. Nora is a student asking for clarification.

Here's the new 'do.
Great cut, great color, 100% Jess.
Baby bump!
Yes, we had ear plugs.
Daisy got dropped off at the airport at 9:37 this morning. It was so fun having her out here - she's so easy going and just absolutely herself.

David you rock! Far too many folks don't protect their ears. I love it so much when folks care for their hearing.

Well, Alex rocks. He was the one sensible enough to bring them.

ION, I've been feeling sick in the stomach at the loss of our nice digital camera (a gift from JZ's boss for taking baby pics). It was in the diaper bag we misplaced this weekend.
So EM heard about this, and decided that we couldn't leave Matilda's childhood undocumented until we could afford a new camera. So she bought us a new one. Same nice, expensive camera.
So kind and thoughtful.
