Emily: It’s important to realize that, IRL, Dan is gangly. He couldn’t hurdle a hamster, much less a railing. Don’t let his edubrilliance fool you – Dan is basically a physical troglodyte.

Mr. Meyer, that is an amzing picture! Good thing that I read the comments because I actually thought that you did that!!!
But I wouldn’t be that surprised if you actually had.

@Kris, I resigned my job in March and have been job-searching since. A lot of stuff will either fall into or out of place this coming Wednesday.

That’s the funny part. BTW: I swear you told that same sobbing girl story when you left Florin, Dan. That or something similar, no?

I hope she reads what you wrote about her here.

Some of my students from last year e-mailed me math questions last fall, when they were stuck in their new courses. Not that they’d never had a decent math teacher before me, I mean – the point is that you shouldn’t be surprised if this student or other of your students will stay in touch. You may have a chance to remind her of things she did that helped her master new material.

Dependent? Perhaps. Perhaps too she has learned that she can learn math. Hopefully she has learned what she needs in order to be successful and can advocate for that in the future.

Maybe.

Right, the pendulum may have swung too far in the opposite direction, in my student’s case. She’s no longer averse to her teacher. But now she’s dependent.
