Bonus- you can get the holiday magic back by paying it forward to the little kids in your own life!

I design exams to be able to be completed well under the time limit, and I tell all students that I’ll stay until they’re done, even if it’s past class time. The longest anyone has stayed is 15 minutes over the period. And time spent on the test has had no correlation with grades for me either.

Yep! Fostering teenagers as a postdoc made me an exceptionally young grandma. 😜

Those first three are my kids’ and these ones are my grands’. I made my first one from a kit in high school and added the name for my son’s first Christmas with us a decade later. I’d already bought a second kit which I made for my daughter. And so now everyone needs one!

Halcyon. A bird and a bygone golden era? Sign me up!

Tbh I’d try it

Also on my second (American sized) pot of coffee for the day.

My students are translators, caregivers, poets, emergency service workers, refugees, immigrants, community educators, activists and more on top of their academic achievements. I'm so lucky to have them!

All berry pies would be better as a crumble. Honestly I’m just not hype about pie crust. I’d happily eat pumpkin and key lime pie fillings as custards.

Yours is ghoulish, not goulash

Your wife is right.
