Hi, and welcome to my blog!
When I first started teaching college students, as a broke and eager adjunct, a seasoned colleague with tenure told me: “Whatever you do, don’t let them call you by your first name. Don’t get too personal with your students or they will start telling you their problems and then they won’t respect you.”
“Of course,” I said. But really I was thinking, Nah. That’s not going to work for me.
