Cancer Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 There are many more of them. And there seems not to have been a fusion bomb test since 1998, if I'm reading the data lists right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 It's strange to hear that my daughter's acquaintances who were in my class consider me terrifying.

L. Marcus Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 But surely you can terrify students now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Yes, just not my daughter or her friends. Actually, the physics teacher said at lunch the other day that he overheard one of his students telling another that I was 'scary'. It became the topic of conversation for the whole table (about a dozen teachers) for the day. Collectively we concluded that a little fear is a healthy part of the student-teacher dynamic. Oddly enough, the subject of test anxiety came up at lunch a few days ago, too. Some of the teachers were saying they'd had test anxiety when they were students. I had to chime in by saying, "I don't get test anxiety. I give it." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 A tad exam anxiety can be healthy motivation. I do not have a tad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 It's strange to hear that my daughter's acquaintances who were in my class consider me terrifying. I've still got about ten years until I'll be able to worry about that. In a conversation today someone said, "Well, perhaps not ideal, but you can work with terrifying. Yeah, you can work with that."

Old Man Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 “it is much safer to be feared than loved because ...love is preserved by the link of obligation which, owing to the baseness of men, is broken at every opportunity for their advantage; but fear preserves you by a dread of punishment which never fails.” Cancer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Based on the current crop, I think that statement can reasonably be interpreted as an insult to actual poltroons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
