Quiz question (over The Great Gatsby): What is Gatsby's reaction to Daisy's child?

Student answer: He was shook that she had a child.

Funniest moment in DA: The Veilguard, hands down. 🤣

Absolutely maddening that state legislators are not listening to the will of the voters. This issue has already been decided. TWICE. 🤬

Shove the Presidency Down Trump’s Throat Liberals spent the president-elect’s first term trying and failing to kick him out of office. This time out, they need to turn the White House into a prison.

Democrats need to have an aggressive and coordinated media strategy involving all of their members, surfacing derogatory information about Republicans, enumerating the problems they’ve failed to address, and filling the news hole with fresh complaints.

Duo is SO weird. 🤣

Thinking about quizzes going into the new semester; I've had some interesting responses over the years:
"aint gon lie I dint read"
"I didn't get that far"
"i dont care"
"IDK - no cap"

During my first year of teaching, I experienced my first diehard funny with students...

We were discussing our unit vocabulary, and one of our words was "dehumanization." I asked if anyone thought they might know what it meant, and after a couple of guesses, one student said, "dead."

If this year taught us anything, it's that:

1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires.
2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers.
3) Poverty is a policy choice.
4) Health care is a human right.
5) Strikes work.

I hope we act on these lessons in the new year.

Image shows the Duo mascot wearing a sinister, sarcastic expression on a multi-color background with "2024" underneath. The text below 2024 reads "Did you learn enough to be safe from Duo? Let's see!"

Image shows the Duo mascot facing away from the camera looking over its left shoulder, with an apparent rear end facing the camera. Text underneath reads "262 days was your longest streak. Okay, hot stuff? Can you keep the flame lit?"

I feel like Duo might be sending some mixed signals...🤣
