tlnwilkinson Mar 23 @ 10:04 PM EDT

While Pottermore gave me Slytherin and I have mad loyalty to it...I'm pretty sure I'd have been sorted into Ravenclaw IRL #weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Mar 23 @ 10:05 PM EDT

@CrazySciTeach #WeirdEd I got sorted into Slytherin first, and Ravenclaw second. The more I think about it the more Ravenclaw makes sense

When redesigning the organization, access to schools in challenging circumstances. #WeirdEd

janamaiuri Mar 23 @ 10:20 PM EDT

@oJaison Right? Ugh. Even as a teenager that house-elf plot bugged me to the core. #weirded

JohnsonTan9000 Mar 23 @ 10:20 PM EDT

A1 Pro: Dangerous "science" experiments. Con: Guaranteed someone will do something dumb during experiment. #weirded

keelybshannon Mar 23 @ 10:20 PM EDT

@nathan_stevens @TheWeirdTeacher @btcostello05 @ClassDojo No, there are no avatars, and there is a lot more excitement. #weirded

CaseySFW Mar 23 @ 10:20 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher @keelybshannon it's like working in residence life... But with magic to do your 3am ICRs #WeirdEd #hogwarts #reslife

i3algebra Mar 23 @ 10:20 PM EDT

A2: (2) pro: from the bf: "Emma Watson is there" I'm assuming that = great students who are truly interested in subject matter #weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Mar 23 @ 10:21 PM EDT

@janamaiuri @oJaison #WeirdEd It's supposed to though. Shows they aren't any better. Give Ron a real problem to grow through.

erincramer Mar 23 @ 10:21 PM EDT

I see Filch as another of Dumbledore's projects. He felt sorry for him, so he gave him a job. #weirded https://t.co/Nj3XW6qJaN

Filch is possibly the worst classified employee ever m. #weirded https://t.co/0IpesnwXIq

A1 Also, couldn't you just cast a spell to grade papers/exams/etc?? awesome. #weirded

btcostello05 Mar 23 @ 10:21 PM EDT

@keelybshannon @TheWeirdTeacher is it healthy competition when we let in dementors to the school to win a game? #weirded

nathan_stevens Mar 23 @ 10:21 PM EDT

@arturo_calisto he is a perfect model for student. Kids this is who you will be if you don't study #weirded https://t.co/PVUbipuKXh

@btcostello05 Please. You know Hermione is better at magic than any of the boys. #weirded

btcostello05 Mar 23 @ 10:23 PM EDT

@keelybshannon @TheWeirdTeacher so I expose you to significant potential for death to win a few points and it depends? #weirded

shadow_uzumaki Mar 23 @ 10:24 PM EDT

#weirded A2. Least is Snape. Biases obviously lead his interactions w/ Ss, esp. Harry. McG. at least tries to be neutral

nathan_stevens Mar 23 @ 10:24 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher A2 not sure I had a favorite professor. All of them sit n get #weirded

jenfromri - Moderator Mar 23 @ 10:24 PM EDT

A2: I imagine these will be popular choices, but favorite: Dumbledore. Least: Umbridge. #weirded

keelybshannon Mar 23 @ 10:24 PM EDT

@btcostello05 @TheWeirdTeacher Pretty much. I'm highly competitive and not particularly risk averse. #weirded

lesliefarooq Mar 23 @ 10:24 PM EDT

@erincramer Yes, if only tracking software could just record it if I spoke it out loud, "Little Jimmy, plus one for being on task!" #weirded

@shadow_uzumaki #WeirdEd Does he treat everyone in Griffendor badly? Harry most of all but he doesn't like any of them, does he?

btcostello05 Mar 23 @ 10:24 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher @keelybshannon She is the kid who gets straight A's but, Harry is resourceful, quick witted, and courageous #weirded

@abookforfrances I actually saw (on reddit maybe) someone had written up the time for weekly classes. Short answer: no. #weirded

@nathan_stevens #WeirdEd Not true, they have wands out in nearly every class.

tlnwilkinson Mar 23 @ 10:25 PM EDT

Points first to Prof. Grubbly-Plank. The trio wanted to hate her, but she was just so good they couldn't. #weirded That's quality teaching.

MrDunlapLead Mar 23 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A2) Dumbledore hands down fave. Let's you figure it out on your own, knowing full well what the outcome will be. #weirded

shadow_uzumaki Mar 23 @ 10:25 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher #weirded Also targets Neville, Ron a lot too.

mrterborg Mar 23 @ 10:25 PM EDT

@MsYorksClass It's your fault. Somehow I was Slytherin. #WeirdEd

nathan_stevens Mar 23 @ 10:25 PM EDT

@tlnwilkinson @arturo_calisto that is why I am in .... #weirded https://t.co/8m2K4E7vaE

erincramer Mar 23 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A2: Fave: McGonagall-tough but fair. Least fave reg: Snape because he was mean. I get there is more to him. #weirded https://t.co/iyXBez8BJG

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Mar 23 @ 10:23 PM EDT

#WeirdEd Q2 Which is your favorite professor? Least? Does this say something about your teaching?

MissShuganah Mar 23 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A2 Cheating by answering abt the real world. Favorite professor was Chaucer professor. He had us do reports and asked very good Qs #weirded

keelybshannon Mar 23 @ 10:25 PM EDT

@btcostello05 @TheWeirdTeacher She got As in more courses than were supposed to exist because she manipulated time. She wins. #weirded

CrazySciTeach Mar 23 @ 10:25 PM EDT

@MrGalb #WeirdEd Welcome to the party. Late muggles owe the group cake.

nathan_stevens Mar 23 @ 10:25 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher You have chromebooks out in every class? #weirded

tlnwilkinson Mar 23 @ 10:26 PM EDT

Least would be Binns. So boring, doesn't know his students, ineffective. Also. . .dead. #weirded

erincramer Mar 23 @ 10:26 PM EDT

A2 cont: Least fave non-reg: Umbridge. Face it, she is in all of our lives in one way or another. #weirded https://t.co/iyXBez8BJG

#WeirdEd Q2 Which is your favorite professor? Least? Does this say something about your teaching?

MrDunlapLead Mar 23 @ 10:26 PM EDT

A2) Umbridge, antiquated style that might have worked when she went to school, but not engaging for the 21st century wizard #weirded

janamaiuri Mar 23 @ 10:26 PM EDT

A2: Pomona Sprout, Remus Lupin, Grubbly-Plank. Calm, effective, hands-on. #weirded

abookforfrances Mar 23 @ 10:26 PM EDT

@bravesearth I'd believe it - I'm sure Dumbledore was one heck of a negotiator at the contract table #weirded

chrisandres003 Mar 23 @ 10:26 PM EDT

A2: Fav=Severus Snape. his level of dark sarcasm is admirable #weirded

keelybshannon Mar 23 @ 10:26 PM EDT

@btcostello05 @TheWeirdTeacher Logic has no place in a world controlled by magic. Sorry. #weirded

shadow_uzumaki Mar 23 @ 10:26 PM EDT

#weirded A2. Fave is Lupin, not counting Dumbledore. That's a guy who can plan a lesson that attracts Ss, also steps in when things go rong

oJaison Mar 23 @ 10:26 PM EDT

A2: Least favorite? Probably Dumbledore. He's so clearly biased and also shadier than he wants people to think. #weirded

btcostello05 Mar 23 @ 10:26 PM EDT

@keelybshannon @TheWeirdTeacher defeated the most dangerous and deadly wizard of all time, In Real Life, not exams- Harry Wins #weirded

MissShuganah Mar 23 @ 10:26 PM EDT

A2 Least favorite professor was one who taught 19th C Am Lit. He talked down at the desk. No eye contact. Rambled. Boring. #weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Mar 23 @ 10:26 PM EDT

@janamaiuri #WeirdEd I think Lupin is probably the best or second best of the ones we see actually teach. Him and McG.

dr_helgeson Mar 23 @ 10:26 PM EDT

A2: fav; McGonagall least: snake #weirded

oolalume Mar 23 @ 10:26 PM EDT

A2 Fave was MadEye, weirdly enough, even tho he wasnt the real MadEye most of the time. He spoke truth: vigilance!! #weirded

MsYorksClass Mar 23 @ 10:26 PM EDT

A2: Most favorite: Remus Lupin. Genuine, caring. Least favorite: Umbridge. Need I say more? #WeirdEd

annalynnmartino Mar 23 @ 10:27 PM EDT

A2 #weirded Prof McGonagall! She is all business except loves her house & got harry on the team & she's fun! https://t.co/gwJ81hEJwE

janamaiuri Mar 23 @ 10:27 PM EDT

A2: Least: Binns. Damn, I've had a few Binnses in my life. #weirded

dcrescitelli Mar 23 @ 10:27 PM EDT

A2: Favorite: Professor Fillius Flitwick... There's more than meets the eye there! #WeirdEd

jenfromri - Moderator Mar 23 @ 10:27 PM EDT

A2 cont'd: Says a lot about dislike of rote, non-hands-on style. And challenging/trusting Ss with big tasks. #weirded

lesliefarooq Mar 23 @ 10:27 PM EDT

A2: Minerva McGonagall! Integrity! Strict, but also kind! #weirded https://t.co/Eu8VfG4LBa

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Mar 23 @ 10:27 PM EDT

@annalynnmartino #WeirdEd What a great moment!

h_james18 Mar 23 @ 10:27 PM EDT

A2 Fave McG because she's classic. Least: Umbridge: rules over relationships. So, I also ❤️ Hagrid because relationships 1st. #weirded

shadow_uzumaki Mar 23 @ 10:27 PM EDT

@erincramer #weirded Agreed. Vry difficult to get over his attitude for the "good guy" underneath

SarahMJoncas Mar 23 @ 10:27 PM EDT

Favorite prof: McGonogal. Least favorite: Umbridge. #weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Mar 23 @ 10:28 PM EDT

@keelybshannon @shadow_uzumaki #WeirdEd And he seems like a decent potions teacher. But his disciple style isn't great.

bravesearth Mar 23 @ 10:28 PM EDT

Q2: McGonagall. She is strict, has high standards, but you can tell she cares about her kids and job. #weirded Snape was just too obv biased

oolalume Mar 23 @ 10:28 PM EDT

A2: Least, Trelawny. Total bs and taught stuff that couldnt be taught #weirded

btcostello05 Mar 23 @ 10:28 PM EDT

JohnsonTan9000 Mar 23 @ 10:29 PM EDT

annalynnmartino Mar 23 @ 10:29 PM EDT

A2 #weirded Least favorite: Prof Slughorn.. makes students feel bad. :(

keelybshannon Mar 23 @ 10:29 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher McGonagall is the best. That dude who got locked in a trunk for a whole term is the worst. #weirded

KhatriMath Mar 23 @ 10:29 PM EDT

@oJaison Omg! Yes. He also clearly led HP on to dangerous paths...#weirded He did not have his ss best interest in mind.

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Mar 23 @ 10:29 PM EDT

@JohnsonTan9000 #WeirdEd Hagrid needed a little more time and he could have been a great teacher.

A1 Lupin is my fav, Hogwarts prof- my subject has a purpose, lets use it & you can learn to apply it in life-also inspires Neville #weirded

btcostello05 Mar 23 @ 10:29 PM EDT

A2 Least- Dumbledore(I will get hippogriffs thrown at me for this) he played favs,broke all the rules, and hid EVERYTHING from kids #weirded

i3algebra Mar 23 @ 10:29 PM EDT

keelybshannon Mar 23 @ 10:30 PM EDT

@btcostello05 @TheWeirdTeacher Because of love. Gross. Overrated. #weirded

vicpasquantonio Mar 23 @ 10:30 PM EDT

@MrDunlapLead #weirded Oi, good point. I bet it very well did work, but there's got to be some shift in teaching as the world so changes

oJaison Mar 23 @ 10:30 PM EDT

A2: Maybe Mad-Eye Moody was my favorite. He was serious about that real-world focus. His class seemed exciting and consistent. #weirded

lesliefarooq Mar 23 @ 10:30 PM EDT

@oolalume Oh yes! She drove me crazy! #weirded

LaxMomTx Mar 23 @ 10:30 PM EDT

#weirdEd A2: Favorite Dumbledore. Made you think, believed in his staff, believed in students. Worst: D. Umbridge - rote learning only

mrterborg Mar 23 @ 10:30 PM EDT

@MsYorksClass And so I had to go through my personal account - Griffendor. My work account - Slytherin. Wonder what that means #WeirdEd

keelybshannon Mar 23 @ 10:30 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher @shadow_uzumaki I'm not saying he's my favorite, just saying he's not all bad. #weirded

I've had that class too! #weirded https://t.co/frMJHGMmB5

A2: Least, Trelawny. Total bs and taught stuff that couldnt be taught #weirded

bravesearth Mar 23 @ 10:30 PM EDT

@h_james18 I'm torn on Hagrid. Relationships are essential, but does it translate into actual learning? #WeirdEd

oJaison Mar 23 @ 10:30 PM EDT

.@KhatriMath exactly. He only thought about the big 3 students and did a mediocre job of keeping them safe. #weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Mar 23 @ 10:30 PM EDT

@TheEdsaneT @nathan_stevens #WeirdEd Nah, they are all doing magic all the time. Which is what they are at school to learn.

#WeirdEd I'll be honest, I'm really excited to see the discussion for Q3. So let's get to it.

btcostello05 Mar 23 @ 10:32 PM EDT

A2 to clarify I think Umbridge was too easy a choice for worst Hogwarts prof. #weirded

@oolalume @btcostello05 @TheWeirdTeacher Literally the entire wizarding world. #weirded

btcostello05 Mar 23 @ 10:32 PM EDT

@shadow_uzumaki @keelybshannon @TheWeirdTeacher if points is the measure, Harry wins more because seeker #weirded

oJaison Mar 23 @ 10:32 PM EDT

Also I'm assuming Dumbledore made hiring decisions. He couldn't bring any teachers of color into Hogwarts? Where's the diversity? #weirded

scmaestra Mar 23 @ 10:32 PM EDT

(it's invisible) #WeirdEd

TheEdsaneT Mar 23 @ 10:32 PM EDT

I feel like I'm going to have a snape moment bc all the politics in school. Maybe he was angry about standardized test #WeirdEd

#WeirdEd Q3 Mad Eye (but not) wants to teach kids the Unforgivable Curses. Herminone disagrees. Should students learn Unforgivable Curses?

abookforfrances Mar 23 @ 10:32 PM EDT

A2: I'm going to go w Pomona Sprout - she's the type of teacher who could have taught me to keep plants alive #weirded

oolalume Mar 23 @ 10:33 PM EDT

A2 Bc I loathe Trelawny, I hope to never teach irrelevant junk. I hope to prep my Ss for the real world a'la Mad Eye. #weirded

oJaison Mar 23 @ 10:33 PM EDT

.@annalynnmartino yeah if we ignore the whole "evil" part (which is relative anyway lol) Moody was pretty legit. #WeirdEd

CaseySFW Mar 23 @ 10:33 PM EDT

A2 Least = Binns. Painful to envision those history lectures. Lupin gets Ss excited & engaged! I like Trelawney; I am weird & artsy #WeirdEd

#WeirdEd Q3 Mad Eye (but not) wants to teach kids the Unforgivable Curses. Herminone disagrees. Should students learn Unforgivable Curses?

#weirded A3. Depends on PV on wands/Magic, some equate it to being a gun due to learning deadly spells in ordinary classes

@TheWeirdTeacher No. Potions are dangerous. You could become an animal. Or a Slytherin. #weirded

@lars3eb but you wouldn't understand it in the same way, thus your bias & experience would provide the lens of understanding #weirded

@scmaestra @btcostello05 No need to fiddle, but imagine a white student experiencing racism as they look like a minority? #WeirdEd

@erincramer That's a great way to look at it, Erin! Thanks! :) #weirded

I do. not. want. this. Can we drink a fake person's polyjuice? #WeirdEd https://t.co/oFByqAfDif

A5 I think all Ss AND Ts should have to drink polyjuice potion to see what it's like to live as another. Great for empathy! #WeirdEd

@annalynnmartino @TheWeirdTeacher @JamesonAPLang YES PLEASE #WeirdEd

oJaison Mar 23 @ 10:59 PM EDT

No one is drinking my polyjuice. I'm too insecure for that. #weirded

@KhatriMath #WeirdEd YES! You and @i3algebra had the same idea and I love it.
