Pretty sure this acronym is up there with people who call their pets their children and saying you feel like a single mom when you’re not in terms of obnoxiously out of touch shit people say about parenting.

Shouldn’t it be FLAMming? Because, like, flaming is already a word.

Hate to break it to y’all but parents generally don’t have a leisurely dinner with 2.5 glasses of wine. Typically the wine is your dinner and you hurriedly eat a sandwich over the kitchen sink while trying to get your kids to finish their homework, clean up their room and shouting for the 20th time. “NO, YOU CANNOT…

It was on my list! Hahaha

I have a friend who shares my worship of Dylan. We make Dylan lists all the time. Top 5 Dylan songs to fuck to. Top 5 Dylan songs to sing while drunk. Top 5 Dylan songs to get high to. Top 5 Dylan songs to listen to while making/eating breakfast. Etc.

At the last school I worked at, we had this awesome adaptive technology. The stylus wrote out the notes on the tablet, but the stylus also recorded the lecture and synced it to the appropriate section/line of notes. After you were done, the tablet would transpose the notes from your handwriting into typeface, and you…

Awesome! A lot of people don’t even know things exist. I’ve done the reddit gift exchange for teachers in the past. I opted out this year and just found a teacher on my own due to changes in the policy, but there’s some other options I’ve looked into moving forward. Did you reach out to the schools directly, or just…

This so much! I retain by writing. In college, to study for tests, I’d rewrite my notes over and over. Even now, if I need to remember something, I’ll take a small sheet of paper and write it over and over.

I’m glad you had a link! I was going to say, I think a lot of studies have shown that taking notes by hand is more beneficial.

Same. I think I read somewhere that writing things make a more lasting imprint on your brain than mere typing.

You’re not alone (as you can see). I still take notes by hand. It helps with memorization, says science!

It has to be tied in somehow; if I write down a grocery list I remember everything on it and don’t need to look at it while I’m in the store.

It might not be about age, ut might be related to your learning style. I’m a kinesthetic learner so I learn with my body. Writing things down is a way of making them “my own”, as if the physical act of taking notes makes knowledge go through me and stick in my brain.

I’m the same way. I’m an old (at 32) student who prefers to write my class notes in a paper notebook. Also, most of my professors won’t let us use laptops or tablets because they're too distracting. I agree with them to a point; a bunch of my classmates in my law class would surf the Internet, watch movies, and play…

That’s how I felt until I got tendonitis in my right hand. Then I was forced to switch to typing notes on a laptop or else be in pain. I still miss my notebooks and pens.

Yes, definitely. Typing notes is like a direct pathway from my ears to my fingers— completely bypassing my brain. When I write by hand, for whatever reason, the words actually have to pass through my brain and potentially stick there.

I write for a newspaper. A few years ago, the company replaced our desktops with laptops, which apparently a lot of my colleagues use to type notes during meetings and interviews. I prefer to write notes by hand in a notebook. Something about handwriting the info makes it stick in my brain better when I’m later…

Nah, I’m the same way - I’m 28 and still prefer to hand write all of my notes, even in an office environment. In undergrad I took a notebook to lectures/discussion sections, and would later type up all of my notes (along with any important book passages, etc.) to make a study guide for exams/midterms/finals. The…

Jealous. I love naps.
