the thing that bothers me most about the compression of seasons into a few holiday-centric marketing events is that there are SO MANY MORE small seasons. medieval people knew this.

in other words, "participating in group social-norm–breaking is a strong signal that someone can be successfully isolated from wider society and convinced to ignore the advice and concerns of outsiders" this is uhhhhhh not an uncommon dynamic for high-control groups

do you think we could go all in on making other months a consumer marketing thing/whole personality. Like “April All Year” shirts. “Feeling Harvesty 🌻🌽” mugs (Harvespy? Pharvespy? Not sure what infantile spelling works here). “It’s almost LATE WINTER can’t wait to buy Walmart’s whole collection”

hello I need pedagogy/quiz design tips! If I ask students to write 1-2 sentences is that still short answer? 2-3 sentences? How much time should I allot for these types of questions? I think I have to put a firm time limit in place because they are taking foooorever compared to my ballpark

and furthermore this category of people (you could probably loosely throw me in there even) are disproportionately autistic and/or ADHD and/or mentally ill, which is a big reason *why* they’re not adult achievers (and there’s a great terror of becoming this that emerges in HPMOR again and again)

sometimes I am struck by depressing thoughts like “I bet reading these 6 sentences on Wikipedia is more pedagogy training than a good number of people who are responsible for graduate education ever bother getting”

Skinner suggests that any age-appropriate skill can be taught. The steps are
1. Clearly specify the action or performance the student is to learn.
2. Break down the task into small achievable steps, going from simple to complex.
3. Let the student perform each step, reinforcing correct actions.
4. Adjust so that the student is always successful until finally the goal is reached.
5. Shift to intermittent reinforcement to maintain the student's performance.
