#your benefit'' voice to a roomful of GE students who are pretty well immune to the condescension and pandering he likes | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

my intro to logic teacher started losing his temper the other day when the student engagement he asked for didn't come as unabashed agreement, and the Spanish teacher regularly, instead of explaining a simple grammar rule, says "that's just something you'll have to figure out from exposure :/". these people are respectively in their 50's and 70's which is past the point when I would assume a person would figure out how to do their job without embarrassing, easily avoidable mistakes, if at least for the simple reason that if you believe a subject is important enough to learn then you'd still have to be very clever and skilled to teach it well.

but then again maybe I should just take these as a lesson in humility and to not expect to have my shit sorted

#The logic prof likes to spoon-feed us politics that he thinks are important so he'll try to introduce them by arguing something tangential #but he'll argue the tangential issue poorly. and it just devolves into this guy asking rhetorical questions in an ''I'm talking slowly for+#your benefit'' voice to a roomful of GE students who are pretty well immune to the condescension and pandering he likes #I don't even disagree with him sometimes but I'm still stuck there with everyone else like dude what the fuck is your deal #same guy who shared the anecdote about messing up a dinner date with his wife. just a general lack of self awareness I guess
