Yeah. I can see our English department grabbing all the empty photocopy paper boxes tomorrow. 😔 I don’t understand the motivation.

That’s why I became a history teacher.

Also, never criticize a student who says a word wrong. It means they’ve only read it but not heard it out loud. I still don’t know how to pronounce the word chyron.

This is the first one I’ve read but I will certainly seek others out.

Nearly finished this. Absolutely fascinating. I love tight little studies like this.

I have my Gran’s cookbooks and I collect old cookbooks. The marginalia is the best!

It’s a really good book!

Tuppence shares my despair.

This is Aloysius. He was with me for 17 years. He would press his forehead against mine when he climbed in my lap. King of the snuggles. 🥰

*lost.
Le sigh.

That course lost A LOT when we list them.

I was teaching senior high school philosophy when we had a 5 year diploma. I had a great mix of humanities and math/science. Conversations were rich and challenging. We went to a four year diploma and I lost all the math/science students because they didn’t have room in their timetable.

We lost 93 alumni in the war. Remembrance Day means a lot to us.
