It should be mandatory that any account suspension tell you exactly what you did, quote your actions exactly, and quote that exact part of the policy exactly.
This is a chance for the EU to actually do something, if they are listening.
I'm a former teacher who bought many thousands of pencils and only handed my kids the best pencils. If you want a better mechanical pencil, I suggest you try a few things:
1. Mechanical pencil lead gets old. I expect $100 mechanical pencils are filled with lead, then sit on a shelf for years before being sold. The same goes for anything you dig out of the bottom of a box or buy at an office supply store. Empty that ancient lead and throw it away, then refill it with some new name-brand lead from a store that sells a lot of lead, like Amazon.
2. Know the H<-->B scale. H stands for hard and means a lead that will be hard to break, but also does not mark very darkly. A #12H might be the hardest lead I have ever handled. B stands for bold and means a lead that marks very darkly/boldly but is easy to break. A #12B might be the darkest lead I have ever handled. Between a #1H and a #1B, we get the old HB (#2) pencil we all used in school.
3. Big and thick leads do not have to draw dull, wide lines. Most mechanical pencils that come with thick leads also include a sharpener to sharpen those thick leads down to a fine point. Then you scribble on a piece of paper until you get what you want. It is possible to do calligraphy with a thick mechanical pencil whose lead has been shaped by scribbling
I am not making any money off any of these recommendations, but here are my favorites:
1. Buy a package of metal 2.0 mm or 2.8 mm mechanical pencils online that you like the looks of. There are many sizes (0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.9 mm, 1.3 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.8 mm, 5.6 mm, etc.) but 2.0mm is the most common size for colored mechanical pencils and I love my 2.8mm pencils. They have come a long way since we all had 0.7mm plastic Bic mechanical pencils in school.
2. Instead of a mechanical pencil, buy a box of Tigonderoga World's Best #2 wooden pencils. They are truly the world's best, but not by as large a margin as they had 15 or 20 years ago. It seems patents are expiring and other companies are catching up. Just avoid boxes in office supply stores that have all the leads broken; buy them online from retailers that move a lot of inventory.
3. Try Crayola Twistable Pencils. A 50-pc assortment is available for less than $15 USD online before S/H and sales tax. They look like kids' toys, but they are the best feeling pencils you can buy. 2.0mm pencil leads that fit these are commonly available online. These do not include erasers and are not erasable. Also, the lead colors do not exactly match the colors on the outside of the pencils.
4. If you want erasable colored pencils, avoid mechanical ones and go for Crayola Erasable wooden Colored Pencils. A 50-piece assortment is under $13 USD online before S/H and sales tax.
5. Try an Cap-O-Matic Space Pen. Then buy exactly the color and thickness of ink refill you want for it. The ink refills are replaceable. They might even make refills for your favorite pen.
The word "Canvas" is overloaded in that it can mean dozens of different things. I thought you meant the recently hacked learning management system (LMS) at first.
"The HTML-in-Canvas API lets you draw DOM content directly into a <canvas> or a WebGL and WebGPU texture while keeping the UI interactable, accessible, and hooked up to your favorite browser features."
> I would beg and plead for my students to come to office hours. "It's free one on one tutoring from the guy who writes the test! It doesn't get any better than that! If these times don't work for you, I can accommodate your schedule!" And yet very few people would come. And then I'd get feedback at the end of the semester that I "was never available to help."
You need to constantly remind your students of your regular office hours, always be there (e.g., a live webcam they see by clicking on a link,) and have a lot of office hours at easy to remember times.
Attendance is correlated with student success. This leads to mandates to increase attendance. Then the perverse incentives kick in. Teachers refuse to post good materials online so more students have to attend.
The idiots in the US Department of Education decided that correspondence courses were not worth as much as distance learning courses. They decided the difference between correspondence courses and distance learning courses was that in distance learning courses the instructor initiated (real-time) regular and substantive interaction with the students. This means that if your students can take the class entirely online and never have questions because of the excellent materials, then your school gets penalized by getting almost no money for online courses. If you sabotage your online materials so badly that students have to sit through painful, multi-hour video chats with annoying instructors, then your school get the big bucks.
The US Department of Education has destroyed online education through gross incompetence and blind rule following.
Many corporate and government types, especially lawyers, want control. They will go broke trying to control everyone and everything.
