    1. Tybalt. Follow me close, for I will speak to them. 1535Gentlemen, good den: a word with one of you. Mercutio. And but one word with one of us? couple it with something; make it a word and a blow. Tybalt. You shall find me apt enough to that, sir, an you will give me occasion. 1540 Mercutio. Could you not take some occasion without giving? Tybalt. Mercutio, thou consort'st with Romeo,— Mercutio. Consort! what, dost thou make us minstrels? an thou make minstrels of us, look to hear nothing but discords: here's my fiddlestick; here's that shall 1545make you dance. 'Zounds, consort! Benvolio. We talk here in the public haunt of men: Either withdraw unto some private place, And reason coldly of your grievances, Or else depart; here all eyes gaze on us. 1550 Mercutio. Men's eyes were made to look, and let them gaze; I will not budge for no man's pleasure, I.

    2. Benvolio. I pray thee, good Mercutio, let's retire: The day is hot, the Capulets abroad, 1500And, if we meet, we shall not scape a brawl; For now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring. Mercutio. Thou art like one of those fellows that when he enters the confines of a tavern claps me his sword upon the table and says 'God send me no need of 1505thee!' and by the operation of the second cup draws it on the drawer, when indeed there is no need. Benvolio. Am I like such a fellow? Mercutio. Come, come, thou art as hot a Jack in thy mood as any in Italy, and as soon moved to be moody, and as 1510soon moody to be moved. Benvolio. And what to? Mercutio. Nay, an there were two such, we should have none shortly, for one would kill the other. Thou! why, thou wilt quarrel with a man that hath a hair more, 1515or a hair less, in his beard, than thou hast: thou wilt quarrel with a man for cracking nuts, having no other reason but because thou hast hazel eyes: what eye but such an eye would spy out such a quarrel? Thy head is as fun of quarrels as an egg is full of 1520meat, and yet thy head hath been beaten as addle as an egg for quarrelling: thou hast quarrelled with a man for coughing in the street, because he hath wakened thy dog that hath lain asleep in the sun: didst thou not fall out with a tailor for wearing 1525his new doublet before Easter? with another, for tying his new shoes with old riband? and yet thou wilt tutor me from quarrelling! Benvolio. An I were so apt to quarrel as thou art, any man should buy the fee-simple of my life for an hour and a quarter. 1530 Mercutio. The fee-simple! O simple! Benvolio. By my head, here come the Capulets. Mercutio. By my heel, I care not. [Enter TYBALT and others] Tybalt. Follow me close, for I will speak to them. 1535Gentlemen, good den: a word with one of you. Mercutio. And but one word with one of us? couple it with something; make it a word and a blow. Tybalt. You shall find me apt enough to that, sir, an you will give me occasion. 1540 Mercutio. Could you not take some occasion without giving? Tybalt. Mercutio, thou consort'st with Romeo,— Mercutio. Consort! what, dost thou make us minstrels? an thou make minstrels of us, look to hear nothing but discords: here's my fiddlestick; here's that shall 1545make you dance. 'Zounds, consort! Benvolio. We talk here in the public haunt of men: Either withdraw unto some private place, And reason coldly of your grievances, Or else depart; here all eyes gaze on us. 1550 Mercutio. Men's eyes were made to look, and let them gaze; I will not budge for no man's pleasure, I.

    1. you can add heat to an object, you cannot say that "an object contains a certain quantity of heat." This is very different from the case of the fuel in your car: you can add fuel to your car, and you are quite entitled to say that your car "contains a certain quantity of fuel". You even have a gauge for measuring it! But heat is quite different. Objects do not and cannot have gauges which read out how much heat they contain, because heat only makes sense when it is "in transit".1To see this, consider your co

    1. “It’s great to say no phones, but I don’t think people realize the addiction of the phones and what students will go to to tell you ‘No, you’re not taking my phone.’”

      Reading this article I understand why schools want fewer distractions, especially during class time, but I also think completely banning phones may not address the real issue.

    2. Instead of putting their devices in magnetically locked pouches, like they’re supposed to, some kids will stick something else in there instead, like a disused old phone, a calculator, a glue bottle or just the phone case.

      When students do not follow the proper instructions of placing their phones in the pouches they make it difficult for staff to enforce the ban of cellphones. Especially since there are a lot of students who continue to have their phones out despite given instructions.

    1. . Your main research question should be substantial enough to form the guiding principle of your paper—but focused enough to guide your research. A strong research question requires you not only to find information but also to put together different pieces of information, interpret and analyze them, and figure out what you think. As you consider potential research questions, ask yourself whether they would be too hard or too easy to answer.

      main research question should be focused enough to guide your research.

    2. A successful research process should go through these steps: Decide on the topic. Narrow the topic in order to narrow search parameters. Consider a question that your research will address. Generate sub-questions from your main question. Determine what kind of sources are best for your argument. Create a bibliography as you gather and reference sources.

      The steps a research process should go through.

    3. After narrowing your focus, think about key search terms that will apply only to your subtopic. Develop specific questions that can be answered through your research process, but be careful not to choose a focus that is overly narrow. You should aim for a question that will limit search results to sources that relate to your topic, but will still result in a varied pool of sources to explore.

      Try not to write something that is overly narrow. You need to keep the questions you want to ask broad enough to have enough resources to support your research.

    4. But the research process does not end when you have solved your mystery. Imagine what would happen if a detective collected enough evidence to solve a criminal case, but she never shared her solution with the authorities. Presenting what you have learned from research can be just as important as performing the research. Research results can be presented in a variety of ways, but one of the most popular—and effective—presentation forms is the research paper. A research paper presents an original thesis, or purpose statement, about a topic and develops that thesis with information gathered from a variety of sources.

      A better way to describe the effort you have to put into researching all sides of the argument or thesis

    1. While it is true that some young women in today’s society are more sexualized than in the past, that is not true for all girls. The writer of this thesis should ask the following questions: Which teenage girls? What constitutes “too” sexualized? Why are they behaving that way? Where does this behavior show up? What are the repercussions?

      An example of how to properly narrow down thesis.The questions to ask yourself to be more specific.

    2. Examples of Appropriate Thesis Statements The societal and personal struggles of Troy Maxon in the play “Fences” symbolize the challenge of black males who lived through segregation and integration in the United States. Shakespeare’s use of dramatic irony in Romeo and Juliet spoils the outcome for the audience and weakens the plot. J. D. Salinger’s character in Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield, is a confused rebel who voices his disgust with phonies, yet in an effort to protect himself, he acts like a phony on many occasions. Compared to an absolute divorce, no-fault divorce is less expensive, promotes fairer settlements, and reflects a more realistic view of the causes for marital breakdown. Exposing children from an early age to the dangers of drug abuse is a sure method of preventing future drug addicts. In a crumbling job market, a high school diploma is not significant enough education to land a stable, lucrative job.

      confident thesis statements

    3. Specificity A thesis statement must concentrate on a specific area of a general topic. As you may recall, the creation of a thesis statement begins when you choose a broad subject and then narrow down its parts until you pinpoint a specific aspect of that topic. For example, health care is a broad topic, but a proper thesis statement would focus on a specific area of that topic, such as options for individuals without health-care coverage. Precision A strong thesis statement must be precise enough to allow for a coherent argument and to remain focused on the topic.

      Specificity: narrowing down thesis. Precision: Hitting the nail on the head so to speak, with the thesis statement.

    4. A thesis is generally one to two sentences long and appears toward the end of your introduction. It is specific and focuses on one to three points of a single idea—points that will be demonstrated in the body. The thesis forecasts the content of the essay and suggests how you will organize your information. Remember that a thesis statement does not summarize an issue but rather dissects it.

      A description of how to utilize a thesis.

    1. When writing a personal narrative for class, first consider the prompt your teacher assigned you. Then, freewrite about topics that are of general interest to you.

      Very good to do as it will open up your brain to good ideas and it will allow you to write a lot easier.

    2. The intention or purpose may be to expound on the grieving process (catharsis), or to encourage an emotional response from the reader, for example, making a person laugh or cry.

      It is a good sign if the reader is very engaged and feeling all of the emotions, it means you have got through to the reader.

    3. a personal narrative is a form of creative writing that tells a story about personal experiences.

      Personal Narratives are very important to have very good, strong, and organized writing as it will keep the audience engaged.

    1. When selecting a topic, you may also want to consider something that interests you or something based on your own life and personal experiences.

      Very important so you have a good writing flow without getting writers block.

    2. Effective writing can be simply described as good ideas that are expressed well and arranged in the proper order.

      Being organized can lead to a great piece pf writing.

    3. Just as you need a recipe, ingredients, and proper tools to cook a delicious meal, you also need a plan, resources, and adequate time to create a good written composition

      Everything has its steps and it is important to follow them if we want successful results.

    1. Yet large “leaks” in the metaphorical STEM pipeline likely occur by early child-hood in the U.S.

      This is well worded and has strong imagery

    2. A practical implication of these findings is that factors present before kindergarten may largely explain racial and ethnic underrepresentation in STEM.

      Implied, but not studied, indicating further study is required

    3. However, the study’s antecedent, opportunity, and pro-pensity factors do not fully explain the observed racial dis-parities.

      Limitations, what wasn't conferred.

    4. Asian students were initially less likely than White students to display advanced science achieve-ment in kindergarten (i.e., 7% versus 16%, respectively). Asian students then were more likely than White students to display advanced science achievement by fifth grade (i.e., 16% versus 13%, respectively).

      I wonder how much familial + social pressures played into this? i.e. "The Model Minority"

    5. We used White, non-Hispanic students as the reference group

      Are they saying this was the baseline they used to compare? As in, they just assumed it was the standard, or this was the standard simply because of circumstances?

    6. Internalizing Problem Behaviors subscale consisted of four items (i.e., is the child lonely, sad, anxious, or displays low self-esteem). Problem behavior frequency was rated using a four-point response scale ranging from “never” to “very often.” Higher scores indicated that the behavior occurred more frequently. The internal consistency reliability coefficients for the externalizing and internalizing problem behaviors scales were .89 and .78, respectively (Tourangeau et al., 2019)

      Very cool, as this aligns with the research I am interested in. Mirrors it in a way.

    7. he science achievement measure was designed to assess a student’s understanding about the physical, life, and Earth and space sciences as well as scientific inquiry. The mathe-matics achievement measure was designed to assess a stu-dent’s conceptual knowledge, procedural knowledge, and problem solving. The mathematics achievement measure included items on number sense, properties, and operations; measurement; geometry and spatial sense; data analysis, sta-tistics, and probability; and patterns, algebra, and functions. The reading achievement measure was designed to assess basic reading skills (e.g., print familiarity), vocabulary, and reading comprehension

      It would have been nice to see data supporting these subgroupings.

    8. item response theory (IRT)

      Also, it's cool that I will be using IRT. Used to determine if the distances from 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, & 4-5 are mathematically the same on a Likert-type scale.

    9. Emergent literacy (α = .57) was a standardized composite score of five items related to literacy activities. The first three items assessed the frequency of parents engaging in book reading and picture book reading with the child as well as the child reading outside school. The last two items reported the number of books that their child owned and how long the parent spent on reading to their child. We added standardized scores of the first three items and the last two items to obtain the standardized composite score

      Cool to see this in practice. My research turns self-efficacy into several different subgroups in a similar fashion.

    10. attrition

      Can you measure, for example, all 1st graders in a district, then the following year, all 2nd graders, 3rd, 4th, etc... and just assume that with a large sample size, the data is apples to apples?

    11. Hypothesis 1: Based on prior work examining the early onset and relative stability of racial or ethnic achievement disparities (e.g., Morgan et al., 2016; Von Hippel et al., 2018), we hypothesized that Black, Hispanic, or AINAPI students would be less likely than White students to dis-play advanced science or mathematics achievement during elementary school in unadjusted analyses. We expected the observed differences to be large (Morgan et al., 2016; Plucker & Peters, 2016; Rambo-Hernandez et al., 2019). We hypothesized that Black, Hispanic, or AINAPI stu-dents would be less likely than White students to display advanced levels of science or mathematics achievement by the end of kindergarten and throughout elementary school (Freyer & Levitt, 2004; Rambo-Hernandez et al., 2019; Von Hippel et al., 2018).

      This feels like a strong hypothesis that was well written.

    12. Use of universal screen-ing using standardized measures

      But also, we know students are already overtested, and even so, these tests are often heavily biased to favor the dominant group.

    13. Research Question 1: Are Black, Hispanic, or AINAPI students less likely than White students to display advanced science or mathematics achievement during elementary school? If so, how large are the observed gaps

      This feels off. A big difference between research and evaluation is that research asks few, specific, and concise questions while evaluations go for as much bang for your buck. This first research question looks like it is stretched to thin by having two questions attached to it.

    14. Among antecedent, opportunity, and propensity factors, propensity factors most strongly predict student achievement

      The cliche nature vs nurture argument comes to mind here...

    15. lead poisoning, environmental pollutants,

      It will be microplastics for future generations.

      Lead, asbestos, microplastics, it's all the same thing regirgitated for future generations.

    16. Black, Hispanic, and AINAPI students are more likely to experience concentrated poverty that results in fewer learn-ing opportunities and corresponding racial and ethnic achievement disparities during school because of histori-cally racialized policies and practices as well as ongoing residential and community segregation

      Viscious cycle..

    17. (Fryer & Levitt, 2004; Henry et al., 2020; Morgan et al., 2016; National Assessment of Educational Progress [NAEP], 2015, 2020; Navarro et al., 2012; Reardon & Galindo, 2009; Von Hippel et al., 2018).

      Clearly evident and well researched in the literature.

    18. 2.6 percentage point increase in publica-tions, a 4.3 percentage point increase in citations, and a .03

      2.6 and 4.3 feel signficant but 0.03 feels like a reach unless I am misunderstanding this.

    1. Researchers follow an iterative process to solve problems.

      You repeat steps over and over again to improve the solutions each time like how we wrote our narrative essay.

    2. Part of becoming a skilled researcher is learning the epistemology of one’s discipline. Say

      Its about how you think, question, and evaluate information for your own discipline.

    3. When scholarship is working right, publication of research results produces inquiry by other scholars, which in turn produces more research.

      What does this mean exactly?

    4. On the other hand, doing research for other reasons than to answer a question can be half-hearted or sloppy.

      I agree to this, sometimes when I read my research notes on something I don't have desire for it sounds not appealing.

    5. If students, for example, research a topic only because they are required to by an assignment, and not from a desire to learn anything in particular, the results will often be subpar.

      I can agree on this because if I research something just cause I have to I won't be interested in learning and gather information about it.

    1. HTML, which is not a programming language

      Sure it is:

      It's not really a debate, HTML is a markup language [1], not a programming language

      This is a false dichotomy, and untrue on two points (a) that HTML is "not a programming language", and (b) that the stance you have taken is not up for debate.

      You're using the term "programming language" as shorthand to refer to the subset of languages more rigorously referred to as Turing-complete general-purpose programming languages.* There are programming languages outside this subset that no less have set membership with the larger "programming language" superset.

      A programming language is a programming language in the sense that they have come to exist with the advent of the stored program computer. Though HTML and other markup languages are not** Turing-complete general-purpose programming languages, they are used every bit as much to describe a stored program as a language you might encounter when opening a file containing G-code "instructions" for controlling a CNC machine.

      * We had a similar (but not the same) silly recurring argument in the 90s where people, at a loss for words to accurately capture their thoughts and grasping at whatever came to mind, argued that there were two distinct classes: "programming languages" and "scripting languages"—a category error arising from the same phenomenon of mistaking loose, off-the-cuff shorthand for The Real Idea Behind the Thing That's Involved Here

      ** No overlooking the fact that HTML is a proper superset of CSS, a provably Turing-complete (though not general-purpose) programming language—and JS, which is, of course, a true general-purpose programming language

      (Originally drafted in response to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46747778)

    1. Healing responses may include turning to music, art, religion, literature, nature, humor, or psychotherapy for solace and understanding. Spiritual questions of purpose and meaning in life become more immediate in the face of impending death.

      .

    2. Under the Medicare Hospice Benefit, hospices provide bereavement support for at least a year to families of patients they have served. They also provide bereavement services to partners and close friends. Often, hospices provide this support to people in their community even if the death did not occur with hospice care.

      .

    3. Physicians and nurses may want to call in clergy and social workers; each may have something to offer a family that is trying to integrate the shock and loss.

      .

    4. If patients have lost the capacity to express their wishes and family members are in conflict about a certain plan, it is best to focus on what the patient would have wanted, applying the ethical principle of substituted judgment.

      .

    5. The clinician needs to communicate clearly with the family members regarding plans for care, prognosis, complications, and who will make decisions should the patient be unable.

      .

    6. Guidelines for assisted suicide have been published, and clinicians confronted with a reasonable request to end life should refer to these, as well as to colleagues experienced in palliative care, for help. In almost all cases, legally permissible and clinically preferable alternatives can be found.

      .

    7. A patient’s request to hasten death should be explored in detail. At first, it should be considered a cry for help. It may represent the wish to escape from depression, anxiety, uncontrolled physical pain, shame of dependency, and other psychosocial issues.

      .

    8. In assisted suicide, the physician provides the means (such as a prescription for barbiturates) at the request of the patient, but the patient must eventually take (or not take) the potentially lethal medication by his or her own hand.

      .

    9. Voluntary active euthanasia is the act of intentionally intervening to cause the patient’s death, at the explicit request of, and with the full informed consent of, the competent patient.

      .

    10. Withdrawing life-sustaining but burdensome treatments, even though the withdrawal leads to death, is also an accepted part of practice based on the patient’s right to bodily integrity.

      .

    11. Patients who recover from delirium and coma sometimes report experiences that range from nightmarish, terrifying visions, on the one hand, to very pleasant out-of-body travel or visions of light and angelic beings on the other. Some may not be able to remember anything about the experience. Occasionally, the disorientation becomes profound and the sense of the world is lost. ++

      .

    12. CASE ILLUSTRATION 6 Caleb, a 101-year-old rugged dairy farmer, has become partly deaf and then blind in the last 5 years of his life but remains alert and communicative.

      .

    13. Patients have the right to forgo therapies such as intravenous fluids, nasogastric feeding, and supplemental oxygen, among others. Documentation of these choices is vital if the patient does not wish to undergo treatments and can be done on the MOLST form.

      .

    14. The notion that being resuscitated from cardiopulmonary arrest will not add appreciably to the quality and/or quantity of life is an open acknowledgment that death might be near—and that reversing the dying process is not within the power of medicine.

      .

    15. The “do-not-resuscitate” (DNR) order refers to the withholding of CPR, specifically closed-chest cardiac massage, defibrillation, and artificially supplied respiratory support. For most patients with a terminal disease, CPR is ineffective, and its harshness makes it a cruel, expensive, technological death ritual. Many studies have shown that CPR provides no increase in out-of-hospital survival for patients with progressive multisystem disease, particularly patients with advanced cancers and renal failure.

      .

    16. Invasive interventions that exceed the usual boundaries of hospice care but that extend meaningful life and improve quality of life are sometimes appropriate even within a hospice approach, as long as the patient consents. Remaining flexible in the face of changing, difficult situations and allowing the patient’s goals to guide the treatment as much as possible permit the clinician to hope along with the patient for a death with as little meaningless suffering as possible.

      .

    17. CASE ILLUSTRATION 4 Max, a 63-year-old, recently retired, and previously healthy man, develops abdominal pain and is found to have widely metastasized colon cancer.

      He is told to have 6-12 months to live. Max and his wife go to a different clinic for holistic treatment, but they ghost them after the visit. He goes back to the original clinic and recieved paalliative care before he passes.

    18. Providing ranges of survival times and allowing for outliers on either end is better than predicting an exact amount of time. (“The average person with your illness will live two to six months. It could be longer, and we will try to make that happen, but it could also be shorter, so you may want to make sure everything is prepared just in case things don’t go as we hope.”)

      .

    19. CASE ILLUSTRATION 3 At 68 years old, Albert has severe end-stage emphysema from years of smoking, severe mitral regurgitation, congestive heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias, and alcoholism.

      He bullied his wife for 40 years, does not want CPR or respirator care. He yells at healthcare professionals and family for him being sick, blames medication. Eventually reveals he's afraid to die, particularly being buried alive. He receives medication that helps him calm down but dies of rising CO2 later on

    20. For some, dying may be a time for personal growth, reflection, and meaning, but for others, personal factors and emotional reactions block an acceptance of death.

      .

    21. CASE ILLUSTRATION 2 Carlos, a 70-year-old man, has been diagnosed with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.

      He's referred to hospice, responds very little to questions about death. He becomes bed bound, has routine visits to his home where he passes with his family.

    22. Progressive declines initially may be treated as another form of bad news, but they also potentially provide the opportunity for enhanced meaning and control in the dying process.

      .

    23. Hospice programs provide comprehensive care to dying patients, with a multidisciplinary team of nurses, physicians, social workers, clergy, and volunteers. These programs, which accept only patients who are more likely than not to die in the next 6 months and are willing to forgo disease-directed therapies and hospitalizations, help patients and their families live as fully as possible by providing quality palliative care.

      .

    24. The advantage of hospice programs is the expertise brought to techniques of palliative care by the multidisciplinary staff, as well as the added support for patient and family at home, including payment for palliative medications and medical equipment.

      .

    25. Unlike Medicare-sponsored hospice programs, palliative care does not require patients to give up on aggressive treatment of their underlying disease, to accept a prognosis of less than 6 months, or to accept palliation as the central goal of therapy. Thus, it allows “hospice-like” treatments to be made available to those seriously ill patients who want to continue some or all disease-directed treatments.

      .

    26. This “both/and” approach has been one of the most important conceptual breakthroughs for palliative care, for it allows quality-of-life issues to be addressed for all seriously ill patients, not just those who are referred to hospice.

      .

    27. CASE ILLUSTRATION 1 Ella, a 71-year-old woman

      Ella has a chest film and expects lung cancer. She has lung tumor and states that if she becomes too ill, she wants to stop treatment. She receives DNR and is referred to hospice where the main goal is to relieve her suffering.

    28. Enhancing the quality of life for those afflicted with serious chronic illness is the cornerstone of the rapidly developing specialty of palliative care.

      .

    1. Patients with undetected trauma histories are often seen as “difficult” or “hostile,” frequently are late or miss appointments, are often in crisis, have poor self-care, and chronic pain. Such patients also may be labeled as “noncompliant,” with seemingly intractable health behavior problems.

    4. In addition to risk reduction strategies, characteristics that promote resilience in survivors such as self-esteem, trust, humor, internal locus of control, secure attachments, and social relationships, as well as a personal sense of safety, religious affiliation, strong adult role models, and use of existing resources can be reinforced by primary care clinicians.

      .

    5. Unlike recent trauma, disclosures of past trauma do not require an immediate intervention. Rather, clinicians can express empathy (“I’m so sorry that happened to you. You didn’t deserve that”) and provide information about the availability of services to help cope with and heal from past trauma (“I am available to talk more with you about that.

    6. An appropriate response to recent IPV affirms that the patient does not deserve to be treated in this way and expresses concern for his/her safety. It also typically also includes a “warm handoff” to a domestic violence agency by telephone and/or to an onsite psychosocial team member who can construct a safety plan; lethality assessment, referrals for safe housing, legal, police, and other community resources; individual and/or group therapy; and peer support.

    7. PTSD symptoms are grouped into four distinct clusters: re-experiencing the trauma (memories, nightmares, flashbacks), avoidance (emotional/cognitive vs. situational), negative changes in thinking/mood (not remembering aspects of the trauma, changes in beliefs about self/others/the world, self/other-oriented blame, persistent negative emotions, anhedonia, isolation, difficulty experiencing positive emotions), and arousal (sleep disturbances, irritability/anger outbursts, exaggerated startle, hypervigilance, attentional disruption, self-destructive behavior).

    12. Demographic factors such as female gender, age, socioeconomic status, and African American race often are thought of as nonmodifiable risk factors, but it is increasingly clear that societal response to race, gender, or age, and the resultant chronic stress, may create the actual risk in these populations.

    1. Given the available collected data [...], how should [funders] measure the impact on wellbeing? [...] What measures of well-being should charities, NGOs, and RCTs collect for impact analysis?

      Let's split up the answer boxes within this question to ask separately about the best use of currently collected data for these cases, and also ask what data should be collected in the future.

    2. How reliable is the WELLBY measure [...] relative to other available measures in the 'wellbeing space'? How much insight is lost by using WELLBY and when will it steer us wrong?

    1. The ability to producenovice teachers who are resilient and persistent in the face of the complex problemsencountered in todayís schools is a goal to which every teacher education programaspires.

      More than just educationally, but also in society. If educators are unable to model resiliency and persistence, the question arises: how will the next generation learn those qualities? It is our responsibility as educators to push the next generation to be greater than we are today.

    2. Both teachers spoke of their new positions as being an excellent fit for them

      In my opinion, an educator's fit for the given role or school is not discussed nearly enough. If a person is not comfortable in some part of their occupational arena, the year can become a treacherous experience. A belief exists that one should be comfortable being uncomfortable. While that is aspirational, at some point one has to embrace something as comfortable if nothing else to have confidence that tomorrow is a new day.

    3. All three left theirpositions because of the perceived lack of administrative support and the failure ofthese schools to attend to the needs of their students.

      Leadership in education is the secret sauce. In my time in the classroom, I’ve seen good teachers leave the classroom altogether because of questionable leadership. With that said, I’ve seen people who may not have been at the top of their class in education be brought under the umbrella of great leaders and have their entire perspective changed.

    4. Chandraís desire to continue teaching at this school despite the overwhelmingchallenges she faced might have to do with a strong sense of personal mission, whichwas linked to her twin sisterís work as a volunteer with homeless women as well asher family ethos

      Chandra’s experiences are heartbreaking. She is the type of fighter that needs to be in education. Chandra’s lack of behavioral management is tough because she wants to give back so badly that she closes her eyes to problematic behaviors and the methods needed to fix them. She is the type of person who could potentially figure it out with time or when paired with a disciplinarian co-teacher. She also sounds like the type of person who could burn out very quickly. She could really go either way. In my opinion she has to find her niche’ and exhaust all options to accentuate those to her advantage. It may turn into a situatuation where she has to fake it till she makes it.

    5. Sally noted that one day of her teacher induction program was very goodbecause she got to share a bad situation she had with a student with her mentor group

      Everyone loves success stories, but humbling dialogues with your mentor or other educators about reflecting on negative endeavors are where true growth arises.

      While reading this article, I was impressed by the choice of an architect as a professional stand-in for appraisal theory and archival appraisal. Terry Cook could’ve picked any profession really but an architect is such a great choice in relation to macro-appraisal because of how broad an architects social and physical dynamics and interactions can be and also how varied the purpose of a architect’s design can be. It really seems like the perfect choice for this subject and I kind of got hung up in the second part of this article trying to think of a comparable or better example that wouldn’t necessarily overlap with an architect directly. A novelist? Some sort of mass transit (commercial plane, train, bus, etc.) designer? It’s tough to come up with a topic that suits this subject as well as an architect.
