I've been a teacher for over 30 years. One of my greatest points of pride is the fact that one of my former students is now an engineer for JPL. She helped design and build parts of the Curiosity rover, and was management on Perseverance. Every time I hear about Mars rovers, I kvell just a bit.

It turns out that a lot of people don't like to read because they were never properly taught how, and more importantly, WHY to read. For them, reading was a way to find the answer. "Why did David fear the old man? (Page 43)" They never went beyond this, so why bother reading if you are not trying to answer a question for the teacher? They never experienced the joy of reading, of reading for its own sake, of reading just to find new ideas.

Sadly, for many people, thinking is the same way. (And there is a BIG overlap in the middle of the Venn Diagram between peple who don't read and people who don't think.)

I'm so glad you said "and". That means you must have done the entire list. I've done several, but not all...

DO NOT INTERACT, if you:

think that the violins are the best part of the orchestra, are from massachusetts, put tupperware in the bottom rack on a dishwasher, solely pee standing up, moved to florida from new jersey/new york/pennsylvania , have gone to disney as an adult, hate mint chocolate chip ice cream, shop at whole foods, put your socks on first and then your shoes (instead of sock, shoe, sock, shoe), hate mayonnaise, like my hero academia, eat your steak medium to well done, go to an ivy league school, hate salt and vinegar chips, dont like the color yellow, have blue eyes, and have EVER eaten at arby’s

Based on personal experience, I have to call bullshit. I have never seen a full professor with a lab/office that tidy. (Personally, I try to keep my classroom as close to a college professor's as I can. Just so my students can be prepared.)

Studying entomology lately. Of course, I had to include the professor’s old lab. Hope everyone is having a productive summer 🤍

As someone who teaches human reproduction every year, I can't imagine teaching this shit instead. Abstinence-based sex ed is not sex ed. It is exactly the opposite.
