why...
why oh why oh why....
have 90 billion (i exaggerate) files... when merging everything into one document will do?
?
??????
here's a thought:
let them spend a day sorting out making sure they have the stuff. you know... give them loads of files then they download them then they display in different order.. corrupt one... make them spend a good day sorting this stuff out...
i mean...
it isn't like they have better things to be doing with their time.
it isn't like they could actually be spending that time learning stuff that needs to be learned.
why is it that the 'hard option' presents the information most simply, most clearly...
that the 'easy passes' (yes, that is what that paper is supposed to be - no point getting more than B+ doesn't count for anything) can't... organise its way out of a paper bag??
simple and clear is HARD.
i forget that.
best students: get best teachers: get best contents: get clearest, most succinct, most LEARNABLE information to learn.
but you have to earn the right to get to there.
:(
i see...
i got a nice email (wonderful, ha!) from my phd... good administrators are so very very very very hard to find and worth (far more!!!!) than their weight in gold..... my annual report is due. oh. i .. thought they may have cut me.
i will do it. honestly.. truly.. genuinely. i don't want to burn bridges there. i would love to see them back off... and support (allow) me to do this. i don't know that it is possible. but i know it isn't if i don't be honest with them. if i don't ask.
so i'll say what i've got to (it will take me a lot of soul searching and work this weekend) and we will see.
