Cool! Its nice to know my ear isn't that bad!

I don't know a lot about musicals, but it felt like each song was referencing a musical sub genera. Nurse Chapel's song seem to reference something jazzy like Chicago, another song sound like it would of fit into the 60s Marry Poppins/Sound of Music.

Or is this what Klingon Opera is really like? What we heard with worf was the "edgy emo" version

I use the Modern Classroom Model for my classroom for the last couple of years which is a self-paced system. In 2020 during our zoom school year I was also fully self paced. Here are a few things I've found.

A handful of students will shut down with self-paced learning. They have low self-efficacy and are failure avoidant.
Another handful of students will hand off their chromebook to "the smart kid" in a different class and have them take the mastery checks for them. They will end up bombing the mastery assessment, but teenagers are not known for their executive function.
A different handful have limited capacity for additional cognitive load. It is hard to do school when you don't know where you are sleeping that night or some other chronic trauma. They thrive when being told explicitly what to do, how to do it.
Yet another handful will fly through the curriculum because they long ago figured out the game of school. Yet when I check in and ask deep, meaningful questions to see if they really understand the topic, they can't.

Young gen Z and gen alpha really need to work on social skills and work ethic. Solo-self-paced experiences don't cover it.

There are a couple of flaws with this. I spend a great deal of time structuring lessons to get students working with each other. I have met, and taught, too many people who have said that the only reason they stuck out through high school was the relationships they developed with thier peers and staff. We've seen what happens when students only do solo computer work, and it isn't pretty.

It isn't even just grading work. In my high school classroom I have students ranging from a second grade reading level to post grad. Every reading, worksheet, science lab, project needs to have accommodations and modifications written in to encompass that. That takes time.

Or creating a new lesson. Making a new lesson for a 50 minute period takes at least an hour.

I've enjoyed hyprland a lot. I would be in heaven if I could run hyprland inside kde plasma.

Does it use Linux's usual filter system cache?

Small aside, but I appreciate the mention of how the timeline slowed down, and Khan was suppose to be in 1996

I use an eco (I don't like the nib i got, too fat). Nothing like correcting work in red ink with shimmer!
