The fierce need to be loved that Miss Brodie fails to fight is a heavy weight I’ve felt these last three years. How can you change lives without being trusted? (You can’t.) How can students learn if they don’t feel comfortable in your classroom? (They can’t.) How can you motivate students who are unmotivated by grades and not interested in literature if they don’t even like the woman standing in the front of the room flapping a copy of Macbeth around while crowing “Fly good Fleance, fly, fly!”? (You can’t.) How can a fallible human being with piles of papers to grade, hours of faculty meetings to attend, a “heterogeneously grouped” class in front of her avoid Miss Brodie’s dangerous, though at least temporarily effective shortcut to captivating and motivating students? That shortcut, of course, is that if you can cultivate personal admiration, which, for adolescent girls is often closer to obsession, you can control your students’ behavior, both in and out of school.

Evaluating Art (So You Don’t Have To)

Art-O-Meter is a device that measures the quality of an art piece. It bases its evaluation on the amount of time that people spend in front of an artwork compared to the total time of exhibition. The measurements are graphically represented by comments and a 5-star rating system.

Without the interaction of a viewer, the Art-O-Meter will register time like a regular clock. However, when a user enters the area covered by its motion sensor, a second timer is triggered and it will count time as the viewer observes the artwork.
