I have noticed that in the spring quarter the students put in way less effort and struggle way more on average than during the fall and winter.

I'm a community college math professor and when I see students not even trying, I reach out to them. But I try to distance myself and think to myself, "Oh well. I guess they're going to fail this class for the third time because they're not even trying..." Do doctors react the same way when they see that their patients are about to get a heart attack?

possumus potestis possunt!

Do you send an e-mail to all the students saying that no strong odors/fragrances are allowed?

I find them attractive. I don't like the way I look. I am trying to lose weight so I can have a small body fat percentage. Is it OK for me to hate how I look until I am able to be thin?

I mean, things that you thought were true based on watching Arthur that you learned were not true?

I used to think that to scare off a bear, you should do the Hokey Pokey.

I also used to think it was common for kids to meet up after school at a hangout place like the Sugar Bowl.

When I was little I watched a film called Donald in Mathmagic Land, which is about math. There's a chess game in it and I finally watched the game in slow motion and played all the moves. Here is the chess game from Donald in Mathmagic Land

A toddler while her father was watching her eat said "Lady... GA GA!" So cute.

I got this e-mail:

On Saturday, June 13, masked ICE agents drove into a parking lot on our campus and pulled a student from a vehicle as the student waited to take part in a college class activity. The agents were asked by the person in charge of the college activity to show their names, badges, and warrant. They provided none of that information and drove off college property with the apprehended student. The person in charge of the college activity alerted our security team, who followed the protocols we have developed in cooperation with the State Attorney General’s Office, which forbids any state agency from providing assistance to federal immigration agents. Complicating this, however, is the fact that federal agents do not normally notify anyone before arriving, and in this instance, did not comply with demands to produce identification and a warrant.

My sense is that PhD's have to have a higher salary and community colleges don't want to have to pay more than they have to because of budget constraints. So if they can hire someone at a lower pay, they will. Is this correct?
