I also had a student today claiming that I marked something wrong on his paper when it was actually right. I'm nearly certain that his answer was wrong, and he erased it and then wrote in the right answer after I handed the papers back, but I've got no way of proving it. I'm giving him the points, and keeping a closer eye on his papers in the future.
Wow. That's so very kindergarten.
That's so very kindergarten.
Middle school, I think. Kinders wouldn't be able to pull off a convincing fake.
And, in the other side of academic shenanigans, I was just given a reading from the APA on treating older people with psychological issues. It, as one might guess, is full of statistics. Statistics that were current when it was published. In 1998.
I am unimpressed.
1998 still seems so recent to me. Chronological math is often painful.
heh. It only struck me because it was talking about how the Boomers were going to start turning 65 in the next 15 years. And I was like, "my parents are significantly over 50, and they're both younger siblings...when the fuck is this from?"
Boomers are already turning 65, both my parents are from the front wave of the baby boom and are currently 66 and 67.
Aaaaaaah, I feel like i'm ovulating and it's really really painfully unpleasant! Or possibly I ate too much lentil stew. One of the two.
So, tomorrow's night free. Who wants to hang out with me in Jerusalem?
:: waves hand in earnest!! ::
(stupid work keeping me from flying off to Jerusalem to hang with Shir)
mental note... must renew passport.

Was already seriously thinking about skipping the country, so - why not? (Or we could do things the cheaper, easier way, and Skype.)
I am now playing with the thought of going out to a cafe with a laptop, and Skyping with the two of you.
Not sure how other people in my immediate environment will take it, though.
well, when you wrote that, I was still in bed... so... it would have been a completely different type of skype.
