Please say something to me before following me! I'll have to carefully scrutinise your follow request if we haven't exchanged any words, but I'll probably approve it right away if you at least say hi. It's more work for me if you request a follow without any previous interaction.
I'm married; no flirting please.

I'm at Parkland College (for a few decades) helping folks navigate developmental courses/placements (but fighting the "hey, 5% of these folks could pass college so we should just get rid of developmental teaching" trends) dreaming of structured paths for building understanding *and* fluency instead of "I don't have time to teach you, here's a calculator."
