Minds at Mines – Halloween
Ask any young child what his or her favorite holiday is, and Halloween will often be the answer. For children, Halloween provides an opportunity to dress up, stay out late, and raid the neighborhood for candy. As college students, trick-or-treating is off limits, but memories of nights spent collecting and eating candy remain. Anyone who has trick-or-treated remembers his or her favorite costume, favorite candy, or the one house that needed to liquidate its sweets supply and dropped half of a bowl of candy into a waiting pillowcase. In the spirit of Halloween, and in those houses that let trick-or-treaters pick their favorite treats, this week, Minds at Mines has two delicious, individually wrapped questions. “What is your favorite Halloween candy, and why?” or “What is your favorite memory of Halloween?”
What happened to respect?
There seems to be a massive disconnect between certain instructors at this school and the eager minds they have been given the task of teaching. I speak of the apparent lack of understanding on the part of the teachers of the incredible workload imposed on students. Yes, I understand that this is a hard school and that students are expected to work themselves half to death to graduate with even a decent GPA, but could teachers at least have a little respect for how hard it really is? I am not asking for less work. I am not asking for easier tests, shorter homework sets, or fewer tests. What I am asking is that the teaching faculty at this school recognize that students have it really tough sometimes, and rather than insult our intelligence by insinuating that students just do not believe them when they say something, rather realize that they probably forgot.
