IDK what teacher needs to read this, but homework is classist, especially in high school & later. Not all your students have the same amount of time outside of school.
Man, I don't have kids so I don't really pay attention to this stuff but apparently they're talking about closing 1/3rd of all of the public elementary schools in Seattle? Due to budget problems. In one of the richest cities in the richest country in the world. This is fuckin embarrassing. Like perhaps we could raise some taxes. Rich dudes around here could pay for the entire budget shortfall and not even notice.

All I know is, everyone around me keeps getting sick over and over again, and I don't. We all, all got vaccinated. The only thing I'm doing differently is consistently masking.
I know this is anecdotal and unscientific but at this point I also don't care. I used to get sick multiple times a year and I haven't been sick (at all!) since 2019. It's too pleasant for me to stop masking.
The (masked) employee at the corner store just gave me a free hot dog because "you're the first customer to wear a mask in awhile"!! #MaskSolidarityForever

But crucially, I was hunting the obscure manuscript first, I wasn't even thinking about applying to grad school. We just got to talking about various shared research interests and realized we had a lot in common.
I think any professor would welcome an interaction like that. No one wants empty/self-serving CV/resume spam.
