He’s one of those teachers where upperclassmen are always asking underclassmen if they have him for Chemistry
He also teaches an Astronomy elective
Logan is On Top Of It when it comes to assessment, learning targets, and standards all aligning with each other
He has this way of calming anxious and stressed students by just being very straightforward with them and not letting them buy into their cognitive distortions. He’s especially popular with seniors for this reason.
Like: “Mr. Sanders, what if I don’t get into any college? I’m barely passing my classes.” “First off, it is the first week of school. You’ve only had maybe one assignment in each class. Your grades are not yet indicative of a trend. Second of all, I have seen your work ethic and do not believe you will fail your classes. You have overcome academic struggle in the past. Therefore, the prospect that you will get overcome it again is not inconceivable.”
He’s a big hit with his students on the autism spectrum because he is very clear, sticks to a schedule remarkably well, and is excellent at consistency. He’s always calm, level-headed, and lets kids be themselves in his class.
He once told a student who had worked their butt off on a project and pulled a B when they were used to D’s and F’s that he was proud of them and they almost cried
It’s admittedly easy to get him off topic but not through his personal life: through the content. Like, ask him about the new NASA missions and he’ll go on a tangent for ten minutes. Somehow, he always ties it back to the lesson though.
One time he dabbed during a lesson about molar mass. Now every time he teaches that lesson, students hope they’ll get to see him do it again. It’s been three years, but still they wait.
Logan hates standardized testing. But there’s not much he can do about it. He just tries to be transparent with his students about it and why he sometimes has to do certain things to prep them for it.
He’ll go to war for his students well-being and safety. Whether it’s to the parents or administration, Logan is a good mediator but when push comes to shove? He’s gonna stand up for those kids.
Every once in a while, he’ll do a crazy lab demonstration that will make his students lose their minds.
He once went toe to toe in a rap battle with the theatre director, Roman Prince as a filler act for the school variety show. A student filmed it. It has tens of thousands of views on YouTube.
I probably have more but it is late and I should sleep… heh.
I still like the idea that Anxiety/Virgil is a very primitive part of the brain and gets tricked into things or thinks about stuff sometimes in a similar way that animals or small children do
Anxiety: Everything sucks we’re going to die I don’t like the look of that person over there are they gonna go through Thomas’ car we should…
Logic: *puts a blindfold on him*
Anxiety: *sudden silence*
……..
Anxiety: Where are the keys?
Logic: In our pocket.
Thomas: *checks his pocket for the keys*
Anxiety: Oh okay.
Thomas: *puts the keys back in his pocket*
Anxiety: Dude where the hell did our keys go
……..
Logan: There are no monsters in the closet.
Virgil: Roman?
Roman: There’s a demon squid in the closet.
Virgil: Logan there’s a demon squid in the closet.
Roman: No wait I was kidding.
Virgil: You need to close the closet.
Logan: But even if it was real that wouldn’t…
Virgil: Close the closet!
Thomas: Fine. *gets up and closes closet*
Virgil: Finally you’re listening to me. Good. Now we’re safe.
……..
Deceit: Patton was never real.
Anxiety: Oh my god Patton was never real.
Patton: Hi!
Anxiety: Oh my god you guys Patton is actually real.
Logan: *facepalm*
…….
Roman: Hey Logan check this out. Hey Anxiety, think fast! *pretends to throw something at Virgil*
Virgil: *flinches and then looks around* Where is it? What did you throw? *checks the couch cushions*
Logan: We really need to talk about how you interact with him.
Virgil: *tearing apart the living room now* I KNOW YOU DID SOMETHING WITH IT.
……..
Patton: I like this horror movie.
Virgil: That girl is gonna come out of the screen and kill us.
Logan: Verge that’s impossi-
Virgil: DON’T SAY I DIDN’T WARN YOU MORONS WHEN OUR FINAL SECONDS DRAW NEAR.
i support this
Ok but Virgil with no sense of object permanence hiding in his hoodie and assuming if he can’t see you, you can’t see him.
Why he often uses the strings on his hoodie. If he can’t see the embarrassing thing you’re doing it must not be happening.
I want this in canon so badly now you have no idea.
Thomas: *does an embarrassing thing*
Virgil: Quick! Cover your face!
Logan: That..that won’t do anything
Roman: *doesslight of hand with a quarter*
Virgil: AH! THERE’S MONEY IN MY EAR GET IT OUT!!!
Logan: Roman… we talked about this.
—-
Virgil: We’re lost.
Logan: No we’re not. We have navigated there five times before.
Virgil: Oh god. We’re so lost. We took a wrong turn… somewhere. What if we get kidnapped!?
Logan: That is highly improbable as we are almost there according to the GPS which supported by the fact that we can now literally see the building.
(I laughed way harder at all of this than I have any right to. XD)
100 Historical Figures in the Wizarding World – 35/100
Minerva McGonagall
As is often the case where the young witch or wizard comes from a family who has struggled with its magical identity, Hogwarts was, for Minerva McGonagall, a place of joyful release and freedom.
Minerva drew unusual attention to herself on her very first evening, when she was revealed to be a Hatstall. After five and a half minutes, the Sorting Hat, which had been vacillating between the houses of Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, placed Minerva in the latter. (In later years, this circumstance was a subject of gentle humour between Minerva and her colleague Filius Flitwick, over whom the Sorting Hat suffered the same confusion, but reached the opposite conclusion. The two Heads of house were amused to think that they might, but for those crucial moments in their youths, have exchanged positions).
Minerva was quickly recognised as the most outstanding student of her year, with a particular talent for Transfiguration. As she progressed through the school, she demonstrated that she had inherited both her mother’s talents and her father’s cast-iron moral sense. Minerva’s school career overlapped by two years with that of Pomona Sprout, later Head of Hufflepuff House, and the two women enjoyed an excellent relationship both then, and in later years.
((Hey. So, unfortunately when I was on Facebook last night I found something that made me extremely uncomfortable and pissed off.
Someone, who I am certain is a part of this community, has created a number of fake accounts for people who are well known on here.
This person then added made-up information or looked up personal information, then lifted pictures from our personal accounts on tumblr, Instagram and Facebook to include in the fake profiles.
Just doing this would be bad enough, but for some reason they also decided to include Jess’ family in this, which just takes it so far beyond inappropriate that I am genuinely baffled.
It would appear as though this whole thing was based around making it look like someone (my guess being the creator of the accounts) was dating Jess. They had relationship-linked the accounts for me and TT, KP and Andy, and then also someone unrelated to us (themselves imo) and Jess. And then used the other accounts – including Jess’ family – to like and comment on pictures, and the change in ‘their’ relationship status.
I am honestly in disbelief that this is a thing that has happened.
For people in this community, Facebook has always been a private space. This goes so far beyond the line. Especially on Facebook, which is a platform often used, for example, by employers to look at prospective employees, etc.
Just because someone is well known and shares parts (note parts)of their life online, does not give you leave to treat them like fucking Sims. You are not entitled to our information or relationships and this is completely taking the piss.
To take our pictures and mess around with our personal details and relationships for your own amusement or satisfaction or whatever completely without permission is quite frankly invasive and creepy.
The fake pages have been reported and most of them already taken down, but if this was you please delete them allimmediately.
You have made everyone involved very uncomfortable, congrats.))
(( OOC: This is not appropriate in any sense of the word, whatever your intentions.
To not only create a fake profile of myself (in which you have clearly done your research on my personal life) but do the same thing for my family members, and insinuate I am in a false relationship, it crosses many many lines.
I don’t know who this was, but as the profiles have been kept very up to date with recent pictures, they clearly follow this blog closely. So please – whoever you are – delete these profiles immediately. I don’t see what purpose they can possibly serve other than to fulfil some twisted fantasy. ))
