I've gotten a lot of requests from faculty about how to talk to their students about the Cornell 7. I'll post a few resources I've built over the years that I've heard are the most helpful:

Looking for a book to teach next semester for my freshman level reading, writing, and inquiry class. I don’t need a writing textbook (already have one), but more along the lines of a common read we can discuss. Any suggestions?

Saw this on instagram and people in the comments can’t stop saying “we can’t be stay at home parents anymore”. Beloved, I was raised by a single mom and my grandma (whose education stopped at grade 8). They still parented me. If your child isn’t potty trained by second grade, you’re a bad parent.

The night was cold and dark. “Listen to the wind howling in the trees,” said Frog. “What a fine time for a ghost story.”
Frog and Toad craddle warm cups of tea in their hands, as they sit in cozy chairs in front of the fire.

One of my education classes sat in on high school History and English classes today, and it was a great experience. Getting to watch my own students dip their toes into teaching is one of my favorite parts of the job.

To raise exceptional sons you need to be exceptional parents. In my 20+ years of teaching the good parents don’t blame others for their son’s mistakes. Kid isn’t doing well in school? It’s their son’s mistake. They get in trouble? They hold their son accountable. But it’s on parents to change, too.

It’s Dolly Parton Day, and in her honor I will read books, be kind, and have great boobs. (I also filled a little free library with picture books recently, so spreading the love and access to literacy, too)

For anyone who doesn’t understand why this is so frustrating for English and history folks, please know that this shows how little the humanities are valued, how little they care about facts, and how little they think of their viewers. Among other things.

Frog and Toad looked into a mirror. “We look brave,” said Frog. “Yes, but are we?” asked Toad.
Frog and Toad gaze at their own reflections in a mirror. Toad holds in his hands a book titled "Fairy Tales."

To be clear, I’m in no way upset with the cleaning crew—they keep my office looking good! I’m upset at the situation. There’s nothing I can do about it as there are only so many ways to plug things in (I don’t get to decide that either).

Starting off the week with a dead laptop because cleaning crew accidentally unplugged it and no one plugged it back in. And I can’t plug it back in because all hook ups are behind heavy furniture.

There was Frog. “Hello, Toad,” he said. “I am very sorry to be late. I was wrapping your present.”
Toad encounters Frog on a wintry path. Frog is carrying a beautifully wrapped present.
