A few kids who care about the environment are pretty passionate about it.

Hm. Maybe I'll make them debate. πŸ˜…

Ah, I'll have to think of something else. Would absolutely get fired for this. πŸ˜…

Agreed. It's a systemic concern.

Yeah. Suppose I'll call that a win.

The school encourages the "ethical use" of AI. πŸ™ƒ

I lectured my next class about the importance of reflecting on the assignment ("The Perils of Indifference"... the irony), what they can gain from it, the privilege they have. Told them not to, that I'd be *checking,* & I STILL had a kid copying and pasting. Didn't change it till they got caught. πŸ™ƒ

Oh, absolutely! They get a good tongue-lashing first and a zero to follow.

Then they do it again.

Y'all, my students are using AI to answer *reflection questions* on the *Holocaust.* 😭😭😭

Question: "What can we learn from tragedy, and how can this knowledge impact the future?"

*Student asks Copilot*
Then: "dumb it down and add spelling errors."

Why. Whyyyyy, we're so doooomed.

I'm absolutely certain you'll have a pronunciation guide πŸ˜…, along with the beautiful hieroglyohic art. β™₯️

So good, though!! Can't wait to read it.

Welp, I've been pronouncing names wrong, whoops. πŸ˜…

How lovely to hear this excerpt, though!! And to hear the language. I love the dynamic between these two. A privilege to hear it from you, @professoremily.bsky.social β™₯️

Character maker of Ashrah, from Chronicles of the Realms, as a mermaid (Maker link: https://www.dolldivine.com/little-merfolk). She wears armour pieces on her shoulders and wrists, of a gold colour to contrast against her purple tail, and holds a skull in her right hand. On her head, she wears a pirate hat.

I've talked about an idea for a witch/pirate AU for Ashrah and Nitara, but... what about a mermaid/pirate AU? πŸ‘€

And yes, the mermaid stole the captain's hat 🀭

Friend has family in Tehran, nieces and nephews, who they haven't heard from in weeks & I just want my students to put their phones down and *give a damn* bc they're the next generation of voters & the world *must* change.

Shaking these kids out of their apathy is the hardest part of my job.

You're being sarcastic though right? Cuz the second paragraph serves to set up that final line. You do it beautifully and distilling down the prose to "essentials" only would lessen the impact.

What an odd person to say such a thing...
