rethinking Milwaukee - attention fellow profs

[cornerofmadness]

I've decided to apply since putting my eggs in the Marietta basket doesn't seem wise. My problem with Milwaukee is I don't want to live in a city. Then it was like DUH there ARE 'burbs after all. And Milwaukee does have things to recommend it
Museums
beer
cultural events such as Irish and Native American fests (HUGE fests at that)
beer
theatre
beer
Summerfest (an incredible week of live music)
beer
close proximity to chocolate fest
beer
close proximity to Indian gambling
beer

so I ask my fellow profs (or anyone out there) know anything about ability based teaching? I can't wrap my head around this. My parents were going over the site with me And we said at the same time OMG the 70's live. I can't get touchy-feely teaching to jive with a Nun-run school!

My dad had just one thing to say. "you're a tree-hugging liberal. you belong in Wisconsin. You won't find a more perfect school..."

...beer

So...Milwaulkee has beer, eh?

Are these the kind of nuns that run around exorcising demons with cute little boy demons? Because I can totally see you doing that. ;)

ability-based teaching? oh great, the students will probably be even more retarded than what you're used to, but with dirtier hair and more pot. *eyeroll*

i believe in tests, red pens, and good old-fashioned pressure. learning should hurt! :p

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

nope ALL girls, all Catholic girls specifically

which doesn't rule out pot

[chaos-by-design.livejournal.com]

doesn't rule out dirty hair either. :p or hippies. or retarded hippies who go there because they don't have the brains to pass a test.
