Welcome @Quentinium

@Quentinium welcome Big Q.

Hi everyone. Jeff here. Been lurking on the forum for a while and thought I’d introduce myself. I live in Minnesota in the USA. The cold weather and long winters here lends itself well to Iron Heart clothing. I enjoy reading everyone’s post, seeing how you all style your garments, and watching your threads (and mine) evolve over time. I work in higher education, am a big fan of rock music, travel, and mountain biking. Looking forward to interacting with the board a bit more and getting to know the group. Cheers!

@jdwaid yo! Welcome aboard

@jdwaid welcome brother

@Mizmazzle genuine question, is 'lower education' the actual term used to describe the demographic that you teach?
-
@T4920 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_education I guess that is referring to the age group he's teaching.
-
@tody I teach students pursuing graduate degrees. All are adult learners.
-
@Mizmazzle I’ve been digging your classroom WAYWT posts. Nice to meet you
-
@T4920 I was mostly being a smart ass about the age group I teach. Since I teach 5th grade (10-11 year olds) they are essentially still fetus stage by my own jaded description. Technically this would be considered “intermediate” by elementary school terminology.
-
@Mizmazzle about 10 years now, 8 of those years full time.

@Mizmazzle @jdwaid one of the benefits of teaching undergrads, for me at least, was being able to tell them that they were all there of their own free will and could always just leave if they didn't want to be there. Shut them up most of the time. But I guess that's not an option for you guys
-
@Tago-Mago best I can do is try and help them see how lucky they are to be in school. Which for many of them goes over like a lead balloon.
) I really do love it. How long have you been teaching college aged people?
