What’s your favorite retort to students who ask “Why aren’t you married”? I’ll start: “oh, honey... I’m too old for you. It would never work.”

My students just decide they obviously need to help me find a spouse when they realize I'm not married. 🤣🙄 Their choices usually involve handsome celebrities, so I jokingly say if they can arrange it, I'm agreeable. 😂

😂😂😂 you know, in 15 years, I can't remember that question being asked to me. If it ever was asked, then it was so long ago that I've forgotten.

Do you think using “him/her” for “he/she” (ex: “her is playing” “him not here yet”) is something that kids usually grow out of? Or does it need direct intervention? I have 2 students who exhibit this error, who otherwise should be dismissed. Normally I’d just keep them on and work on it alongside other goals, but they don’t have any other goals, and with COVID, and my upcoming maternity leave in March, a more compact caseload would be advantageous.
