Whoa, folks - I reaaaally stepped out of my comfort zone here and went with...FIVE...count them, FIVE panes.. not even in a nice orderly row, hahaha. My younger sister, Faith (who sadly passed away at the tender age of 33 on June 4, 2024), told me when I first started the comics, "It's a webcomic; you can pretty much format it any way you want!" And so this was me giving it a try.
Here's what I originally shared on LinkedIn:
Need a #teachers help? Offer them #freelunch. I dunno why this works so well with #educators, do you? Maybe years of getting little and giving everything, I dunno.
Whatever the reason, it's a winning strategy for gaining the assistance of an educator (and if you have teachers do something for you that crosses over regular feeding-times, and don't at least offer them a meal, you're a jerk, you know that?) ;0)
That's your lesson today on the "Care and Keeping of an Educator." If that's not a book title already, it oughta be.
If you like this #TeachedUpComics episode, please like / comment / and very importantly _Share_ this with those in your network who would value a look at #K12education from an MSPaint-adventurist perspective. And, as the best creators seem to say: "Ring my Bell" (which I presume means "set your Notifications to alert you whenever I make a move on here so that you know I'm still alive and kicking").
I do think there's a disconnect between STEM advocates. On the one hand, a huge majority of those involved in STEM want more, more, MORE! And sadly on the other end is a smaller pool of the educators who actually have to coach the students - and they're being told to do everything across multiple activities. It heaps on them yet another part-time job for very little reward (and don't say that the smiles on the kids' faces when they get their trophies and medallions is its own reward - there's an inflection point past which "awesome" becomes "nutso" on the way to "Burnoutville").
