K12Science Podcast: Systems Technology Engineer

I was recently reading the March/April 2023 issue of “The Science Teacher” a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.

In this issue, I read the “Career of the Month” column, written by Luba Vangelova. She wrote an article entitled, “Systems Technology Engineer.”

Systems technology engineers design, develop, test, and/or manage the software, hardware, and firmware that comprise information technology systems. Rebecca Herold of Des Moines, Iowa is the featured Systems Technology Engineer.

Word of the day is a reminder of ‘eye-servant’ (16th century): one who only works hard when the boss and others are looking.

Word of the day is ‘mumpsimuses’ (16th century): those who insist they are right and apportion blame to others without looking at themselves.

Word of the day is ‘parwhobble’ (old Devonian dialect): to speak continuously so that you never hear the voice of anyone else.

Wonder why teachers are discouraged- while calling home you get yelled at and the parent is more concerned about what the other kid did, having a student say I am not doing this and there is nothing you can do about it and being called Bro/bruh.

Here’s a thought—if an article starts to make you feel unsafe, stop reading it. If it makes you angry, write a rebuttal. If it contains demonstrable errors, ask for corrections. Braying for authors to be canceled makes it clear you KNOW you hold cultural power & feel plenty safe.

If you come across a bear, never push a slower friend down…even if you feel the friendship has run its course.⁣⁣
