Wow, really? That wasn’t the case in the public school system in CT (or in my independent school here.) That blows if you actually get called since my experience has been that the judge could care less that I teach.
Usually you get postponed until a school break and then you go. On your time instead of school time.
A woman on my AP Litserv just had a preemie when she was visiting CA so her baby is in the hospital, unexpectedly, in a different state. And she posts asking for help with her AP English Language class. I wrote back to her and said that I can't help with AP Language stuff but I'd ask a colleague, but I'd be happy to lend an ear on baby-in-the-NICU stuff. Poor thing.
Oh my. Today is really Internet stupidity day, isn't it? I try to keep it light on The Twitter but unfortunately got caught in a tweetback with people who honestly think the U.S. gvnt has cures for both AIDS and cancer but keeps them secret because big pharma makes too much money off of people who suffer from these diseases.
Also there aren't Japanese actors so it's impossible to cast them. Or Navajo ones. There's only Adam Beach, so he has to be all Natives.
And as Tina Fey said, "I don't like Chinese food. It doesn't mean Chinese food doesn't exist."
I think I have a household interest in that board, Allyson. And maybe so does Hilary Bok, Barbara Herman, and Christine Korsgaard ("she is supreme over all of ethics").

It's Sean Carroll's blog, he reposted someone's effort to parody why philosophy conferences are sausage fests.

Well, the household is reading that now.
Does the household think that an argument based on a bullshit premise is a superdouchey fallacy?
Is Superdouchey Fallacy an official term?
Is Superdouchey Fallacy an official term?
Also, what is Superdouchey in latin?
I guess the problem is he assigns the male domination of some fields to an unspecified explanation. I mean, as far as he's concerned, there's probably a single explanation for all of it. Were you to try to pin him down on one, he'd have no reason to commit to it. Just something about maleness and femaleness that explains all of it, including the rock singers one which is unanswerable (seriously, I've been sitting here for like 30 minutes with no answer to the male version). Anyway the household thinks that a list of female philsophers is way too specific to actually try to defeat the Stay-Puft man that is his point.
