I feel like I may have written a blog post about this, but it bears repeating especially since it’s a big issue for me this calendar year (will explain). Also, it’s been a while since I blogged and I’ve missed sharing my thoughts on teaching and learning.
So – RESPECT – I am not certain when [...]
Different Strokes

We’ve heard the saying ‘different strokes for different folks.’ This seems to be my way of thinking about the ‘folks.’ In this case, the ‘folks’ are students – they are, of course, all different, but I’m having a hard time so far this semester getting into the groove of my returning students. These ladies have [...]
Allergies or a cold?

This is what I’m dealing with today, and it’s one or the other. Could it be both? Could my allergies to pollen have weakened my immune system making it easier for the cold my husband had last week infect me? I bet so!
Don’t get me wrong after a finicky winter (cold, warm, hot, cold, warm, [...]
Giving Up
Posted by: dateacher on: April 5, 2009
The title may confuse you. Recently I’ve been taking stock of my life. Kind of like doing an inventory of what is important. I also recently have had two confrontations that have made this action come under fire from other people. Why might you ask? Well, part of the inventory [...]
Never been popular, why start now!

I was not really all that popular early in my life for my opinions/thoughts, so why should now be any different…..
Every day I find that I am disagreeing more and more with the norm or the status quo. I find that my opinion differs from the vast majority of people in this world today. How [...]
“A” for the effort

What a timely report on Fox and Friends…self-entitled college student survey. As an instructor on the college level, I see shades of this daily. Are all college students self-entitled? Well, no, but those who are seem to shout louder, complain harder, or just whine more about their situation.
Don’t try to tell me that [...]
When did it become okay…
Posted by: dateacher on: January 25, 2009
Caution Readers: I am not sure I will be able to get through this post without completely going off on the entire population today – okay, maybe “the entire population” is going a bit too far because I am certain that there are people out there who are cognizant of not doing what I have [...]

Seems EVERYONE in this great country in which I live is enjoying the lovefest of Inauguration Day. Being unpatriotic, as I know some have called me today, I avoided every bit of the media coverage of Inauguration Day 2009. Well, okay, for a minute I flipped it to FOX News Channel and saw Dick and [...]
Doing the best I can, and other rants
Posted by: dateacher on: September 19, 2008
I’m doing the best that I can with what I consider an inferior product….the book used in the dental assisting program where I teach is HORRIBLE! Sad thing is – it’s probably the most complete and most comprehensive book out there. But – the proofreaders or editors or whomever were not paying attention to the content [...]
