Does Having an Attractive Teacher Make Learning Easier or More Difficult?

hot-teacherI haven’t really had an attractive teacher in a long time, but I remember back in middle school there were a few lookers.

What I’ve found is that teachers who are more attractive on the INSIDE make learning easier, whereas teachers who just look pretty on the outside complicate things.

I never had both at the same time, but I imagine if I ever had’ve I probably would’ve gotten down on one knee.



Drag Queens are People, Too

eddie_izzardI just found this gem on Yahoo Answers:

Hello, I am English learner.

I have question of pronoun ‘it’. I learn it can be used for a person who has gender unknown or disregarded.

So I can say-

A: hey look that drag queen

B:what, can you recognize it’s gender?

For future reference, English learners, it is always a better idea to assume an individual is the gender which HE or SHE is trying to appear. :)



Japanese Farm Schools

This is definitely a major in which I’d be interested. Damn, do I love Japanese people. This video features G-rated mud wrestling and CUTE child labor. What more could you want from education?



For You Pre-Dentals Out There…

toothI have a question.

Do right-handed people get more cavities on the left side of their mouths, and do left-handed people get more cavities on the right side of their mouths?

I’m right-handed, and I noticed today that I tended to prefer chewing on the left side of my mouth since that is where the food usually is anyway thanks to the angle of my wrist.

(Assume this is for individuals that don’t brush regularly, since that would negate this premise.)



I Finally Know What I Want to Be When I Grow Up (I Think), And It Makes Me Sad

Thiniknowhatiwanttobe23king about the biggest decision I’ll make in my entire life is killing me, which is why I wrote this article.

I’m not usually one to remain sad for any length of time, but this semester was an exception. Prior to January, I still felt like a child. Sure, I had bills to pay and a place of my own, but I still had the “world is my oyster” mindset. This semester, however, I painted myself into a corner.

Now I realize what is meant by that oyster phrase. The world may be …

Basing the decision on my Google Analytics statistics, I have reorganized the favorite articles page. I also made the link color a little bit easier on the eyes. Enjoy!



Make Your Life More Efficient – My New Bowls

mynewbowlsFor months I came home to cold, crusty oatmeal plastered upon one of the three bowls I owned. With other, more important things on my mind, I’d toss the bowls into the sink. Each morning thereafter, I’d awake to the realization that I had no clean bowls, so I’d have to waste some of my morning cleaning them.

There were two solutions to this problem:

1. The “easy” way – wash the bowl every time I finished eating out of it.

2. The easy way – buy more bowls.

Long story short, I bought 12 …



Opportunity Redistribution, not Wealth Redistribution Should Be the Answer

Unfortunately, neither really work.

Wealth redistribution isn’t fair because it takes away the incentive to work hard. If somebody else is working 80 hours a week and you work 20, you get credit for 50 hours. Eventually the 80 hour a week guy would find an 85 hour a week guy and drop down to 20 himself.

What, then, should be the benefit of “working smart” instead of “working hard”? As Ron White says, “You can’t fix stupid.” Since many don’t have the capacity to EVER …



Quit Watching Porn! GO TO CLASS.


Drop the Doritos, yokel. I saw you hit your panic button. What would you do without your trusty windows key?

GO TO CLASS. Quit making excuses. Log out your character, give Linda Lovelace a break, and do what you are supposed to do. We’re all born ignorant, but you’ve had plenty of time to chip away at your deficit. PROVE you have done so!

When class time rolls around, there will be no excuse. You get your ass out
