Awesome article!

“as once the student’s adored teacher was behind the desk.”
Right, I didn’t adore any of my teachers. I had respect for them, whenever they extended that respect to me. But no teacher of mine ever came to school in a short dress, blowing kisses to her students.
I guess that it’s more like an inane fantasy, that is presented before us. The possibility that a teacher would innocently flirt with her students. Either that, or the teacher-school part is just a pretext for the educative nature of the videos.
I liked the idea of adding something more to the learning technique. If you can make the whole package seem more appealing, then why not do it?

I hope other teachers would someday share hotforwords’ view and change their attitude towards teaching us “stuff that they already know”, and stop thinking that we are simple beings that only live to discover what they already know. Maybe they could even try to rediscover their teachings, again and again with each class… That would sure add something that would make the whole package seem more appealing, don’t you think?
Or am I asking for the sky and the moon?…

My experience in the academic field may vary to yours, but if you had a say in how you were being taught, wouldn’t you want to change anything? I know I would…

Thank you Evan, I sure am a lot wiser since the last time I logged in. In all aspects, computer science included. Thanks for asking.
I need to catch up with a few of Marina’s posts, though I’m up to date with the lessons. I hope I didn’t miss too many of your witty puns. I’ll check back more often.

Hi leonard,
Well now, I wouldn’t say it’s treating me good, just it’s treating me the way it’s supposed to.

Oh good, my account is still active.
Thank you for mentioning Nadia, Marina. Here is a good resource to instantly find out how words and names are pronounced in different languages.

And how did you ever guess the exact way I sneeze? (*hapciu*)
I came across this story about the weirdest sneeze ever, The girl who can’t stop sneezing.

Kudos for finding such a beautiful picture of the Arch of Triumph, in Bucharest.

About the panda sneeze, I have a question. Does your editing suggest that the adult panda blows you away when he sneezes?
Because if that is the case, I draw your attention to the baby panda that actually does the sneezing. It’s mommy only gets startled. But looking at the title of the video on YT, I’m thinking maybe I’ve just misinterpreted it.

I hope everyone is doing great. Marina is on top of her game, as usual. And I hope to be able to comment again alongside all of you, soon.

Oh, that sounds cool. I’ve only been “washing ton” of laundry.
