Why teachers drink

[limr30 3]

And I don't care what anyone says; I really liked "Dead Poet's Society."

Who says they don't like DPS?

Apparently, Roger Ebert did in 1989. He hated it: Dead Poets Society Movie Review (1989) | Roger Ebert

I've heard similar criticisms - that it was just sentimental schlock, that the characters were unrealistic, that it relied on platitude and poorly represented the humanities. Blah blah blah. I liked it.

It's funny - a lot of my colleagues ask me the same question. I probably do. It's a pretty thick file! I wouldn't have enough to write a book solely of quotes, though. There would have to be some commentary. I figure if I ever write that book, it's best that I do it after I'm no longer working at the school that has provided the material

(DPS) I liked it.

Occasionally I find myself agreeing with a film critic.

I like very few movies.

Ditto TV.

Make them define "They" in the next essay. Or even have students exchange essays and respond to the other students proposed solution, how it would affect their life if they were falsely accused of said crime and had to suffer the concequences.

IMO, the students who write these lines of wit don't have the capacity to evaluate their own, let alone someone else's work.

I am constantly asking them questions like that. "Who are 'they' who say all these things?" "Oh, it happened 'back in the day'? What day would that be?"

But I'm a pain in the ass

I have to agree. Even with the stronger students, I've found peer review to be of limited use.

Personally, I drink to forget..........................................What was this thread about again???

My doctor tells me whiskey is good for my heart. (secret: my doctor is me)

 

[table1349]

My Dr. said the same thing about Scotch and I'm not my own Dr.

Can you be my doctor too so I can make my whiskey officially medicinal?
