Top Study Tips from NASA
Tumblr media
Study smarter this school year! We asked scientists, engineers, astronauts, and experts from across NASA about their favorite study tips – and they delivered. Here are a few of our favorites:
Tumblr media
Study with friends
Find friends that are like-minded and work together to understand the material better. Trading ideas with a friend on how to tackle a problem can help you both strengthen your understanding.
Tumblr media
Create a study environment
Find a quiet space or put on headphones so you can focus. You might not be able to get to the International Space Station yet, but a library, a study room, or a spot outside can be a good place to study. If it’s noisy around you, try using headphones to block out distractions.
Tumblr media
Take breaks
Don’t burn yourself out! Take a break, go for a walk, get some water, and come back to it.

I got in an argument with some guy while we walked through my old middle school. We were arguing about whether or not his belt keeping his pants from falling off his ass counted as a deus ex machina. I argued that’s just what belts do but he was so insistent that his belt was special for doing regular belt things. I woke up really angry.

[Image description: An infographic. There is a picture of a billboard which reads, "What are your kids really learning in school?" The text is arranged next to a cartoon woman with purple hair and a face mask, standing in front of the Daniel Quasar's Pride flag. The rest of the text in the infographic has been edited over as a series of bullet points. Full text is below.]

What are your kids REALLY learning in school?
probably math still
s. e. hinton's novel, "the outsiders"
definitely not enough about colonialism
apparently not phonics
probably at least one shakespeare
the assassination of franz ferdinand
their teacher is gay and trans now

the world is DIFFERENT now. Our educational standards, like it or not, need to evolve with the kids. They can’t do nothing, but we ALSO shouldn’t be working them past their limits. Give them a break.

Ok but in a modern AU, this squad would have 100% roleplayed Warrior Cats with each other and you can’t convince me otherwise.
Mai is that emo girl who hisses at people in algebra class.
Azula gets sent to the principal’s office for biting.
Zuko adamantly denies participating in this but is secretly the most into it, has a notebook full of drawings of his catsona.
Ty Lee licks her wrists like a cat and says “rawr xd” (yes including the xd out loud).
They would be peak 2000s middle school cringe and I’m here for it.

If you've never played a TTRPG with tweens, you're missing out.
These kids are clever and creative and funny (sometimes in unintentional ways).
They're old enough to grasp complex rules but young enough to not care enough to be rules lawyers (mostly).
They still believe that adventure is just around the corner in their real lives. They love the freedom of making their own choices in a game, but they're still learning how to be a team player.
They break out in song randomly. Or start wrestling each other irl.
They latch onto details you didn't think mattered—and in their own way, that adult groups don't.
They'll make silly and immature decisions because they are silly and immature, in the best way, just like they should be!
They're willing to take risks that adult players often avoid, and when the GM rewards those risks, they are so wonderfully proud of themselves.
They don't mind consequences for bad choices, provided you make it fun.
They speak up when they don't like something (including consequences for bad choices), and they're creative collaborators to find a better a solution.
But most of all, tweens deserve a place where an adult treats them like they're a little more grown-up than they are. Where it's safe for them to try new things (even things like swearing under their breath) without being immediately corrected or squeezed into a box that doesn't feel quite right.
They deserve the chance to discover what it means to be people who care about others, who feel compassion, who recognize dignity in creatures not like themselves (whether that's smelly boys or giggling girls or a geriatric robot who stutters).
They deserve space to practice being human. And TTRPGs can be a beautiful way to give them that space.
Tweens are incredible, creative, valuable humans. Playing TTRPGs with them will make you better, more willing to laugh at yourself, and more aware of the brilliance within those kids you only thought you knew before.

Definitions and age/grade levels will differ from country to country, but choose whichever option best describes your schooling for most of that age range.
Public school: paid for by your taxes, free for all students to attend in most places and must conform to national standards
Private school: paid for by tuition fees and/or private entities, you must apply and pay to attend; the school administration has more say over what and how they teach

Curious, because my husband and I are trying to help our 8th grader get shit organized and apparently we had VERY different approaches as teens:
In middle/high school, how often did you throw away graded work (homework, quizzes, etc) from your classes? If it varied (by class, year, etc), go with what you did most often.

THIS 👏🏻IS 👏🏻NOT 👏🏻OK👏🏻
Children should not have to live like this!
Where are the parents protesting masks in school because it would traumatize their children? Is THIS not a trauma inducing practice?!

Netflix made a very in name only live action adaptation of South Park. Like, it had more of a school focus, the boys were aged up to middle/high schoolers, Cartman wasn't as fat or evil, etc. It got canceled after 2 seasons.
