amen amen amen. Same with Cinemark. We have one independent theater but they can only show so much. Often good movies are there for just one week. I managed to see Sinners and Frankenstein and that's about it.

I've heard of many of them. Only 2 have been in theaters anywhere near me. I live in a mid-sized city.

proud to say my college student daughter took one look at the essay (and the assignment) and said that's not an essay, that's a bad blog post. F.

just saw video of Rubio leaning in and talking to him while his head falls back and his eyes are closed. What are people like Rubio thinking in that moment?

I was just saying this today. My daughter is happily being engaged in a robust education at UofT, far from all this crap.

That was my reaction. Lots if repetitive blather to fill up the word count without actually talking about the article.

My response to the articles about how "ai" can choose your wardrobe, plan your dinner, read to your kids, write thank you notes to your grandma, etc etc....how did we ever survive before?? (Followed by, are grown assed adults too stupid to do those things with their own brains?)

yup. we are called on the carpet if more than 20% of students get below a C. That includes students who drop the class for family, financial, personal or whatever reason.

I agree about the polarization. I have students who don't show up, don't do the reading, don't participate in any group work or discussions, don't even do the assignments and others who are so engaged and on it, they make my day every day. In the same class.

my students responded to administrators' talking about teaching ethical use of AI by responding that there is no ethical way to use AI because of its unethical basis (training on work product of others with no compensation) and environmental problems. I was so proud.

I grade a lot of not very bright student papers and this one is not even up to those standards. Why is always the not very good students who do the most whining.
