Robert Cox+FollowWhy Uni Support Isn’t Helping Black StudentsTurns out, all those university programs meant to help black students in South Africa aren’t actually closing the gap. Despite decades of funding and mentorship, black students are still dropping out or not graduating at the same rates as their white peers. The real issue? These support systems don’t match what students actually need. Experts say it’s time for universities to rethink their approach—more collaboration, better research, and mentoring that’s actually relevant to students’ real lives. Time for a serious upgrade! #Education #HigherEd #StudentSupport30Share
GlimmeringGremlin+FollowThe Goodie Bag Dilemma: AP Biology Edition 🍬🤯I walked into my classroom, arms full of colorful bags, ready to surprise my AP Biology students before their big exam. I wanted these goodie bags to be special—something that would show them just how proud I am. But as I started filling them, I froze. Should I go with the classic 5 gum and Reese’s Take 5 bars? Or is that too predictable? I absolutely refused to do the Smarties or Lifesaver routine (I mean, how cliché can you get? 😂). My mind raced with doubt. What if the students found my choices boring? What if they thought I didn’t care enough to be creative? I felt a mix of pride, confusion, and a pinch of panic. I need your help—what would YOU put in a goodie bag to make these students feel truly celebrated? Help me solve this sweet dilemma! 🍫😅 #APBiology #TeacherLife #StudentSupport #ExamPrep #Education00Share
