My Thursday CT is excellent at classroom management, yet she has one issue I can't stand and I'm anticipating for tomorrow, she doesn't like any kind of detour from the lesson or textbook, no matter how short.Some of my new students at her school are dying to ask me certain questions like, 'Why do you speak English if you're from SA?' 'Are there cities in your country?' and 'Why aren't you black?'It takes me 2 minutes to detour and explain the history of SA and shatter years of ignorance. The 'ahas' I get from students at my other schools are oddly satisfying once they learn the truth.No... My CT thinks memorizing 'I water the tree at 7 o'clock' is more important.Apparently, she thinks teaching is testing what they already know instead of learning something new.

In other news, I found Cadbury's chocolate at our little GS last night. It doesn't taste like the one from home. This made me sad.
I got cocky.I went in before 1st period, needing to print out some stuff double-sided. I did a one-copy test to make sure I had it on the right settings, because I'm a responsible adult and don't like to waste paper.OR SO I THOUGHT.Cut to period 3, where I need to print off some more copies for my next class. "I already changed the setting so I'll just hurry up and print out the copies so I can go back to solitude." 10 pages of paper, wasted, because I didn't do my one-copy test to make sure no one changed the settings. I feel like I am single-handedly causing more rainforests to be cut down.NEVER GET COCKY. NEVERRRRR.Sidenote: Is this even the right use of "cocky"?And I know I sound kinda comical and borderline sarcastic, but I really am disappointed in myself. ):
The "source" in question was "Health Expectancy Indicators" from the World Health Organization. Obviously your 20 years + 1000 hours trumps their paltry experience ...
I glanced at that nonsense, and it was just "bla bla life expectancy whatever". Zero depth of analysis. I know what this crap will be before I even click the link, which I why I don't normally click links. They would do better to look at the 5 metabolic syndrome markers, even something as simple as that is better than their nothing-burger "analysis".
The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader sense in its 1948 constitution as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."
May want to glance again, because the WHO does not include life expectancy in their calculations of 'health'.

That garbage is way below the level of analyses I perform.
I don't know how much longer I can keep doing this, but I don't know what I'd do if I stop doing this.

Our hungry ancestors [once] would eat hundreds of different kinds of plants and animals in a single week. Today, with huge scale global agriculture and super-dominant food crops, 80 percent of calories consumed by humans come from just twelve species.
I got a question: What happened to the ranting/venting megathreads 1.0 and 2.0?
Not to take sides here (aside from my own), but it does seem that humans certainly enjoyed much more diverse diets in times past.http://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2017/04/19/our-food-supply-always-in-season-always-at-riskQuoteRob Dunn, author of the new book, “Never Out of Season: How Having the Food We Want When We Want It Threatens Our Food Supply and Our Future."QuoteOur hungry ancestors [once] would eat hundreds of different kinds of plants and animals in a single week.
