Teaching, over the long haul
I posted on my first job review as a college algebra teacher, which was that math journaling works. I’ll have to post this so that I can also post it on LinkedIn and I really wish I could send a copy of it to the veteran teacher who back in 2001 told me that I was under no circumstances to try math journaling or any of the other nonsense that teachers colleges are teaching these days as s

A Long Letter from the Future
Reviews of Babylon 5, from a Minbari Point of View
These reviews are from the PoV of a Minbari persona I have created, so I'm not sure into what category they fall.

“Asher Rubin thinks that most people are truly idiots, and that it is human stupidity that is ultimately responsible for introducing sadness into the world. It isn’t a sin or a trait with which human beings are born, but a false view of the world, a mistaken evaluation of what is seen by our eyes. Which is why people perceive every thing in isolation, each object separate from the rest. Real wisdom lies in linking everything together—that’s when the true shape of all of it emerges.”

“People, Reacher was certain about. Dogs were different. People had freedom of choice. If a man or a woman ran snarling toward him, they did so because they chose to. They were asking for whatever they got. His response was their problem. But dogs were different. No free will. Easily misled. It raised an ethical problem. Shooting a dog because it had been induced to do something unwise was not the sort of thing Reacher wanted to do.”

“If you can control a man's thinking you do not have to worry about his action. When you determine what a man shall think you do not have to concern yourself about what he will do. If you make a man feel that he is inferior, you do not have to compel him to accept an inferior status, for he will seek it himself. If you make a man think that he is justly an outcast, you do not have to order him to the back door. He will go without being told; and if there is no back door, his very nature will demand one.”
