#bc i have to be collecting data for my research essay

[bredforloyalty]

what were u studying? and why did you quit if it’s not too personal

of course it's not too personal! (this is my blog where i yap hdsgvy and i'm just touched anyone even asks)

short version is it made me want to off myself so i stopped / i stopped studying psychology because of my psychological problems ahaha and also i didn't want it all that much to begin with, and also i might have some problems with studying itself (some kind of brain problem), and also the circumstances because i'm back at home and it's not good, and also i'd just rather work and focus on anything else other than a "career" now. i don't want assignments i want something to do with my hands and people to see. i want to enjoy things again. and not have this hanging over my head

longer version: i was doing a psychology bachelor's, i had one course—a research project—to go and the final exam after that. this was my third time with this subject, because, well there are three types of research projects we have to do and the essay type was fine (no data, no stats, just theory), then the questionnaire research i failed in the 4th semester. 5th semester i tried to do both the questionnaire and the experiment research projects (both requiring like actual collection of data) and could only finish the one i had begun before, bc i didn't have to do a wholly different one of the same kind of questionnaire research, i could just pick up the one i had before. these are ~15 page scientific papers by the way, title page and sources and all not included. so i finished that, but i had to ask for an extension and then ANOTHER extension. and i cried most days. it was bad. i got a 5 (A). at this time i was still living in another city, where the campus is, away from home, and this helped, that i was alone in my apartment And i had a friend talking me through the whole process (!!). and it was easier research than the ones that would come after, genuinely. 6th semester (last one), you're not really supposed to do research, because if you want to graduate w everyone else, you have to hand it in about 2 months into the semester, because you have to compile all your research into a portfolio and upload it, so they'll let you take the final exam during the exam period of that semester

now, the first problem was i couldn't do it in 2 months, so i was gonna do the final exam and get the diploma next semester, so a whole summer later. and i moved back home. this freaked out my mother big time. i'll never forget the 3 hours in the car on our way back from the apartment, after we packed up. she was vicious. anyway not only did i not hand in my portfolio, i just couldn't finish the paper. worked a little over the summer, i tried again with new research this september, traveled there and back in the same day (mondays) to talk to the consultant. i finally got a student job, it was and is sooo important to me because i like the environment and the people there are actually normal. and treat me like a person. i was always told and i feared that i'd never get a job or i'd be fired because i'm stupid and incompetent and i can't handle a "real" job (→ i had to study and do something intellectual) and this was not the case.. all of my fears were unfounded actually everything is okay there and i'm not an unpleasant person that customers avoid. in fact i'm pleasant. and i get on well with everyone there. i really like making coffee, i'm kind of looking for a full-time barista job or something similar right now

um. for context my dad does physical work and my mom is white collar. they're getting a divorce now, both just unhappy people, my dad's a misogynist they really hate each other he's hurt my mom a lot. etc. my mom really really really wanted me to get a diploma, she thinks the only reason i would opt out is laziness and a general disinterest for all useful things in life (i think this is related, she wants me to have a better life than dad and to be a different, better person). i couldn't stand her breathing down my neck. two days ago she checked on me SEVEN times during the day, asking if i'm studying (i wasn't btw). my home life is frequently awful even without the added stress of studying, i just couldn't do it anymore. i never even liked studying, it made me miserable most of the time, to have things that i Must do by a certain deadline. some lectures/seminars were fun and stimulating and some weren't, some schools of thought i'm really interested in and others i think are horseshit, this is normal stuff. still, i didn't really find my place within psychology ? and anyway, if i decided i wanted to be a child therapist or a family therapist or work in adoption, it's a looong road there.

if i can only do a 15 page research paper with several extensions and while using up all of my energy to deal with the personal/mental health crisis that is "important project", Without actually ever dealing and resolving this crisis (because, i did try again and again and the same crisis would set in every time), the master's degree is just out of the question. psych BA is half a degree, it's useless in this country without the master's. except for being able to say "i have a degree", it's good for that, some employers ask for only that. and there are certain MAs you can do with a psych BA that aren't psych so of course it wouldn't have been useless. but that's just not reason enough to keep doing this, y'know? it was painful and destabilizing, i couldn't let go of this idea that my academic success or my output or my work is what i'm worth. intellectually, personally. so if i don't do well, i'm dumb or i can't think in complex concepts or my. executive functions are just subpar and i'll never make it in fields that require any studying at all (ofc as i saw it, this last thing would still be my fault because i should've learned to study better and should've worked on my attention span and should've just Wanted it harder and learned to stick with things, and learned to do stuff i don't want to do, or that i don't enjoy doing).

this was untenable, i worked myself into these states, my family couldn't deal with me or help me either. but the main reason i've decided to quit uni (for now; for at least a year i'm quitting and then i'll see if i resume the program) is i want to do something on my own terms. and not be obligated to finish this for my mother, or to be the kind of person she requires me to be. i can't be that person. i'm my own person. as long as i live here and i'm studying (and failing and trying again and failing and-), i can't be my own person. if i finish this program, it has to be because i'm in a better place and ideally getting more support and because i really want it. and it's my thing. currently uni isn't my thing, it's my mother's thing... so yeah i'm much happier now that i've let go of this, and promised myself i'd do what i can to be financially stable (somewhat) and to move out!

TELL ME ABOUT THE ICE CORES I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT THEM

/takes a break from writing an essay (only 600 words in. sad.) to write even more words about,, ice/

yahoo !!!!1

ice cores are mostly used for monitoring changing CO2 levels in the atmosphere along with methane and nitrous oxide :) by taking out looooooong chunks of ice from glaciers and ice sheets, you can analyze things that happened a long time ago!! air bubbles trapped inside the ice contain our ancient atmosphere! the stuff that creatures 2 million years ago breathed!!!! and we can analyze the contents of it!!!!!!!!!!

volcanic eruptions and weather events such as dust storms can be trapped in the ice too! particulate matter is chemically documented and linked with CO2 contents to create graphs of ancient climates (volcanoes make the earth cool since solar radiation cannot enter the atmosphere as easily when blocked out by large amounts of ash, so we can identify probable dips in the earth's previous temperatures!)

image source (displays how climate matches up nicely with air bubble samples taken from the cores!!)

with this science we've accurately documented around 400,000 years worth of natural climate data from the past!!!!!! of course other resources are compared such as tree ring growth and plant frost damage, but it's all collaborative to become as accurate as possible :)

speaking of plant growth, the ice cores gave us the keeling curve! named after Dr. Dave Keeling, who took the first ice core measures at Mauna Loa in Hawaii in 1858 due to wanting an "uncontaminated" sample as humanly possible. the ice core CO2 data showed a natural fluctuation with the seasons, a pretty little pattern of crests and troughs created as plants flourish in the summer to consume CO2 and die off in the winter to allow it to more accumulate. after Keeling continued to document samples, he found the CO2 levels to steadily rise (he expected his graph's slope to be flat! being sampled so far away from major city pollutants! whats going on!!?)

image source (interactive charts are fun :D ..... the fully extended one also scares the shit out of me :D !!)

so now ice core data and the continued documentation of the extended keeling curve have become an international effort in order to 1- further research our past climate by going deeper and deeper to analyze more ancient cores (currently being stored and researched at the main ice core facility in Colorado USA (i watched a documentary on this place it was very cool!!!)) and 2- keep watch on the keeling curve in relation to climate change and the efforts to reduce it (ex: the IPPC, Kyoto protocol, Paris agreement, etc. etc. etc. and how their impacts, well,, impact this data)

LOOK HOW MANY THERE ARE IN THIS FACILITY!!!!! THIS PLACE IS SO SO SO SO SICK I WANNA GO SO BAD (image pulled from this short (but out of date) magazine article)

i had more graphics from my university but theyre from a year ago and i no longer have access to the old files but they were SOOOO COOOOL

being a stem kid with adhd is so cool and fun 11/10 would recommend (all my friends are liberal arts majors and i talked to them in a starbucks about BPA once for over 30 minutes straight god bless them) i love sharing information thank you so much anon i can always rely on the tumblr followers to talk about cool things :)

(reason this journal is so unusually long is bc it's part of a collection of 2021-2022's "best of" but im really enjoying it so far)

BUT!

now i have to go back and do my essay. i enjoyed this break dearly :)

ok taking a break from writing some cute stuff to do this as a way to study bc I'm taking the final test to get me OUT OF THIS COURSE tomorrow!!!!!

also I'm tired and too lazy to bold things to make thks look cleaner I'm so sorry

so schools r funded right??? before they can be funded, there r two questions a district/state must ask:

the equity question: does each school across the state have the same funding? and

the adequacy question: is there enough funding so that students can effectively achieve?

(there was the kentucky education reform act (kera) that stated that every child in the state had the right to an adequate education!!)

there r other funding questions:

1) how much will each source pay?

2) is there equity in the distribution?

3) are the resources adequate so that all students can achieve the identified outcomes?

the primary sources of school funding are property taxes, sales/use taxes, and income taxes

the state uses sales and gross receipt taxes, income taxes, licenses, and miscellaneous things!

-

now I'm discussing school boards and school administration staff N stuff ok

so the school board has powers and duties n stuff:

- to obtain revenue

- to maintain schools

- to purchase sites n build buildings

- to purchase materials and supplies

- to organize and provide programs of study

- to employ necessary workers and regulate their services

- to admit and assign pupils to schools and control their conduct

the central office staff: the superintendent of a school works w a staff to carry out the district's program of edu

principals have duties too:

- instructional leadership

- building community relationships

- supervise staff

- select teachers and monitor their performance

- deal w students

- watch over the building and grounds

- administrate the attendance office (is administrate a word idk i wrote it differently in my notes shhh)

- take care of budgets!!

- share these responsibilities w assistant principals

support staff include: secretaries, custodians, etc

there are also department heads / team leads who:

- communicate and coordinate their grade or team

- meet w the principal from time to time and bring that info back to their departments

there are also instructional specialists who are basically hq expert teachers

there's also the state board of edu, that has two types of functions:

- regulatory functions: has the authority to establish rules and regulations that limit and permit action

- advisory functions: can only offer suggestions and indicate preference for action

the state legislation is generally responsible for creating, operating, managing, and maintaining state school systems; the governor can veto school legislation

-

that accountability keeps coming up: reminder, it's a school's obligation to take responsibility for what students learn

there's a thing called a value-added system that basically links higher test scores w teachers being good lol

there are concerns about that^ though, bc: students are not taught by the same teachers year to year and student performance is influenced by multiple things

teachers who have good improvement n stuff can get rewards like focused evaluations, financial rewards, and training programs

-

gotta know this theory thing next

it's called the child benefit theory and it:

- addresses the use of public funds for secular services (transportation, testing, textbooks, etc)

- services MUST benefit the student (not the school,, not a church, NOTHING BUT THE STUDENT)

- the nclb allows for funding for private school students!

- also upholds the limited use of title i funds at private schools

also gotta know ferpa. ferpa is the family educational rights and privacy act (aka the buckley act) and was enacted by congress in 1974; it governs who may see school records and under what conditions

-

teachers must have certain dispositions, like having enthusiasm for teaching, advocating continuous learning, and believing all children can learn

u alsp gotta know the diff between enabling laws and administrative laws and case laws:

- enabling laws are laws that come from the constitution that make it possible for educators to do certain things

- administrative laws are rules and regulations created by the executive branch that impact educators through the us department of edu

- case laws are laws that emerge from federal and state court cases

teachers also cannot show negligence or commit educational malpractice, and teachers have liability!!!!!

-

ok I could make a second post for this last section but the first one here was quite short anf I know this last one is also short so !!!!!! here we go again it's a double whammy:

first off, there r academic content standards. these are: formal, public statements of what students should know and be able to do in each of the content areas at various points in their pk-12 edu

there are curriculum guides. these are: documents prepared at the state or local district level that provide detailed info to help teachers plan instruction

-

there's also assessment knowledge that an aspiring teacher must know,,, like the purpose of assessment (the ultimate reason is to help students learn! there r two types: formative and summative)

so there r assessments FOR learning and assessments OF learning as well

- assessments FOR learning: both summative AND formative; include: student essays, projects, portfolios; they determine how deeply the students understand the content

- assessments OF learning: summative only; standard tests; they basically determine who moves forward

there are types of assessment measures as well: diagnostic, norm-referenced / criterion-referenced, capstone / summative

and performance measurements: called authentic assessments; learning logs and journals, (port)folios, interviews, observations, student products and projects, rubric

-

there's this thing called school reform. they're comprehensive programs to bring about school-wide changes in curriculum and instruction; their intention is to increase learning outcomes for all students

there are professional learning communities which are teams of teachers who work together to improve student learning; they develop common goals, determine ways to meet the goals, implement different approaches, and collect data to determine if the approaches met their goals

there's the school improvement process which is:

- an approach for gradual improvement of school curricula

- team of principal, teachers, team leads, department chairs, and parents

- they hold meetings to determine how well students are performing

- they identify specific targets that everyone will work on in the next year

there's a thing called success for all that's developed around the core assumption that all children can read!!

a school development program is a research-based, comprehensive k-12 edu reform program grounded in the principles of development; teams are guided by 3 principles (decision making, problem solving, and collaboration); promotes adult-student interactions necessary for good student development and academic learning in school

and theres this thing called "essential schools" that i forget if it's literally or like a ??? specific like??? act or whatever but either way:

- needs to master common core skills

- promotes vision of schooling in which students engages in in-depth and rigorous learning

- has principles which include: using ur mind w focus on learning goals, attempting to apply the goals to students, personalizing ur teaching and the students' learning, and student performance yo

-

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST!!!

common core state standards (ccss): a set of standards that describe knowledge and skills that students need for success in college and careers; their intent is to develop standards that focus what is most essential, to make standards that are learning-centered, and to focus on the expectations for student learning; there are debates and concerns tho bc it's available to all states, but adoption is voluntary/optional and the standards will expand until it's a national curriculum and states really don't like taking the same tests as other states
