    Question of the day….

    How is it possible that I taught the same amount of material we are teaching today in a 1260 hour program in 945 hours. In addition my students wrote out their notes line by line on paper, and did not have everything handed to them on an iPad. And…. I was able to have them do all the labs, plus we did some really neat additional projects (any of my prior students remember your home-made keg coolers?).

    This question comes up because several of my instructors are complaining they do not have time to cover the material and do all the labs.

    Man, when this group screws something up, they REALLY screw it up. I want to know HOW you can screw something up so badly that you have been doing 4 times a year for 46 years. Wow!

    For those concerned about education in K-12. Read the following about common core (and no child left behind) and as you read FAQ #4 please think about the statement “follow the money”. Common core, instructional technology, laptops, tablets, etc. are all big money. Test generation, test presentation, and test grading are also big money. Publishers change a passage in a book all of a sudden every student needs a new book and every test has to be re-written, etc. Follow the money.

    Yup, time to give up for the evening. I just got a student email:

    “Hey Mr. Molnar, Hope you are doing well my love….just having a slight problem. With the new cloud system I am having a hard time getting into the site, the labs and the lectures. I must have forgotten the passwords and the usernames I have. I apologize in advance for this set-back! If there is any way possible you could re-set any usernames with passwords and shoot me the new ones in an email….that would be highly appreciated! Thank you greatly, ”

    So many things wrong with that email. My response?

    “Please contact your instructor in a professional manner and remember you are talking to a member of the faculty. They will be happy to open a bug with the required information and we will then reset your passwords. If you do not know why the email you sent me is unprofessional please ask your instructor.
    Have a great evening. -Dr. Molnar”

    Yeh, remind me to work extra hours to jump all over that one. Jennifer Frank did you send me one of your students?

    Hey, all of you that have done job searches recently….. many years ago when I did my last job search (maybe like 15-20 years ago) I kept a notebook and cards to keep records of all apps and resume’s I sent and responses I received. I am finding it hard to keep the same type of records now because companies no longer respond to applications they get. Thoughts? How are people tracking this stuff now?

    For anyone who is having concerns or issues with kids in school I think this is very worthwhile ready! @[100001806009924:2048:Brian] and @[100000197693750:2048:David] I think we had talked about this for different reasons. Please do not take this the wrong way.

    Interesting when your job title is “Curriculum Team Lead” and then all of a sudden all the Curriculum Team members are re-assigned to a different manager……… Not feeling all that good right now 🙁 Hmmmm……

    God, give me the serenity to make it through this week and next without choking the shit out of someone who desperately deserves it.
