hollie, Turned off music and am trying to buckle down for a study session. Can I just say, this new #college world of often only having a digital option for a textbook, is AWFUL. It's SO bad for neurodivergent folks.
My textbook is only readable in an app. I can't easily take notes from it. I can't make my usual process of tabs and sticky notes. I can't bounce around the book as I reference things.
It's a wildly negative experience for my brain, inspiring so much resistance to learning the material.

gocu54, I'm not saying its a bad thing. As a #Blind #College student, I'll be joining the 7% of blind people who graduate College with a 4 year Batchlor's degree. This isn't a small deal at all and yet when I think about it, I can't help but to feel nervous because I didn't exactly have a plan after, and that sucks because I'm afraid that I'm going to have problems not killing my mom's Credit because of student loan payments that I'm going to have to make, and you know those loan companies won't be nice about it. I just wish there was someone out there who could tell me what its going to be like so that I can not feel the overwhelming fear that I do now, but there is no magic faerie to help me through this, nobody in my family who can really fully understand except my Dad who's excited about this and can't really understand that I'm just absolutely scared out of my mind even though I'm trying not to be scared damn it. I love my Dad though, and I'll not hear anything bad about him. Without him, I would have never been able to go to College much less graduate high school. Still, it doesn't mean I'm not afraid. I wish there was something I could do about this.

blogdiva, back to this #college #basketball #StJohns #Georgetown game:
since when is 6'9" short?!?!
if it were up to some of these commentators, Allen Iverson, Derrick Rose, g'damn Steph Curry would have never made it in college basketball and even less in the #NBA 🤨
luis_in_brief, @blogdiva to be fair, size really has changed. No data (though surely someone has collected it?) but when Wemby (and Brook Lopez???) are bombing away from 3… it’s not the game Iverson played. He would have been fine, but I suspect a lot of shorter guys from that era would have had much shorter careers.
davemark, "In a first, U.S. students will take the SAT entirely online (no pencils required)"
Eventually, the norm will be for students to take the exam at their high school, on school computers, on "SAT School Days".
Parents will have a new thing to complain about: "Back when I was your age, I had to USE A PENCIL" 😝

FantasticalEconomics, While perceptions about the value of #college continue to decline, the data tell a different story.
"Yes, college is still worth it: The wage gap between recent college and high school grads has been widening for decades, and grew even more last year, per new Federal Reserve data."
"By their early 20s the high-school degree workers likely have many more years of work experience than the new college grads — yet they're still getting out-earned."
https://www.axios.com/2024/03/04/college-graduates-median-annual-wage-difference
ariaflame, @FantasticalEconomics @edutooters Has it taken into account the costs of the degree?
FantasticalEconomics, These data are just for earnings. So the opportunity cost of college (both time and money) do not factor into the chart shown.
However, a $24k wage gap in your 20s is pretty substantial and would quickly eat up those costs, even if held constant across lifetime work (though I'd expect that gap to rise over time as well, rather than remaining constant).
But you are right to point out there are important costs missing from this story.

"L'île au trésor"
Quand j'ai appris j'ai compris qu'il allait cartonner, il a adoré le livre et l'a lu deux fois !
Je l'ai aidé à préparer l'éval, on a regardé ensemble la fiche Wikipédia de Stevenson et il a eu 20/20 coef 2.
Il est jouasse !
Et là...
- On en a un nouveau à lire pour le mois de mai..."Le chien de...des... Ba...Baskettes..."

thom, French @brunus Un classique qui passe très bien. Parfaitement adapté au collège.
Anecdote : la version de 1990 de Fraser Clarke Heston avec Christian Bale dans le rôle de Jim Hawkins est particulièrement fidèle.

Ça ressemble à mes salles de classe et à mon fonctionnement de la fin des années 80 à ma retraite, sauf pendant 3 années que j'ai détestées début au 2000.J'étais en enseignement spécialisé, puis en maternelle. Pendant les 3 ans merdiques, un passage en élémentaire "normal" où je n'ai pas appliqué mon fonctionnement habituel.
Mon fonctionnement pédagogique était apparenté aux méthodes Freinet.

bicmay, "Contemplating their own rarefied status, members of Yale’s secret societies aren’t entirely sure what to do with it. They face the question roiling America’s elite campuses taken to its logical extreme: whether the modern social-justice politics advanced by college students can coexist with the staggering selectivity and privilege that benefit those same students."

theolong, French @bendia @Gon0s @Gidi Dans mon calcul, je ne comptais strictement que le temps devant élèves. 19h (devant élèves), je crois que cela concerne plus le second degré. Je suis moins au fait de l'organisation des collèges/lycées.
En primaire, comme je le disais, c'est 24h/semaine en classe entière, plus 36 heures d'APC à répartir sur l'année scolaire.
theolong, French @bendia @Gon0s @Gidi En plus du temps de classe, nous avons des obligations règlementaires de services (conseils des maitresses, d'école, animations pédagogiques, rencontre avec les familles...) : 108 heures
Je n'ai pas compté le temps personnel de préparation de cours, de corrections, des projets, etc.. On arrive facilement à des estimations aux alentours (au bas mot), entre 39 à 42 heures par semaine (voire davantage).
