Yep. There seems to be this desperate need to pretend everything is okay/will be normal soon and just...

When I assigned grades two weeks ago I was very generous in how I chose to round up.

(I also turned our last quiz into a team-based Kahoot quiz where everyone passed and the winners got bonus points. Because they survived this semester)

we have a secretary of
-transportation making it more dangerous to travel
-education making kids stupider
-defense making us more vulnerable to attacks
-homeland security making us feel less secure than ever
-health and human services trying to spread illness

everything’s fine.

Yep. But apparently we want them to be cogs in a machine, not independent, creative, critical thinkers.
