New School Year

I had thought I might write something about the beginning of the school year and how my classes are going, but then I realized that my students might Google me and find this. So first let me say to them: Hi! Do your reading! Don't plagiarize! Actually things are going well, although I will say it was a little disturbing that all the students in one of my sections could identify the porn star Jenna Jameson and none could identify Gloria Steinem. (I don't hold them accountable for this. Shouldn't someone teach you about Gloria Steinem sometime before you get out of high school?)

Some other people out there are writing some pretty funny, pretty accurate descriptions of the frustrations of teaching. Leslie Madson Brooks on Blogher has compiled has a nice round up. Also check out Sex Ed in Higher Ed.
