This is insane to me. She has 7 other This is insane to me. According to her other vids she has seven other children, the youngest of which is TWO and the oldest is 37. They’re all adults except the 2YO. I think she’s incredibly selfish for intentionally having a baby at her age. She’ll be 52 by the time the baby is born, and she’ll be 70 by the time they go to college.

I get that everyone has their own fertility journey, but this seems so selfish. She has 15 grandkids so it really seems like she just got bored when she decided to have the 2YO. That kid and this baby don’t deserve to deal with the struggles of aging parents when they’re only young adults. But who knows, maybe I’m too judgy, curious to know what others think.

I’ve seen a lot of people on this sub/other academic subs dismiss RMP as useless - maybe salty professors (kidding) - but honestly, I’ve found it to be pretty helpful. You just need to use your discernment: pay less attention to the number rating, and focus on the content of the review itself.

It’s obvious when there’s a low review because a student is upset they got a poor grade. I ignore those. Instead, I look at the reviews that actually talk specifics regarding teaching style; those are actually accurate and will give you a preview of your experience in the class. For example, I’ve read reviews that said the professor tends to stray from the syllabus, does lots of group work, reads directly off the slides or rambles, etc. Those things have all held true.

I’ve found it useful because I go to a larger school, so it’s difficult to find people that have taken the same class with the same professor to hear their thoughts. Just my two cents, I don’t think RMP should be written off as a resource.

Has anyone else seen this? @latishabravo having a baby through IVF at 51 years old.

Hot take: Rate My Professor is a great resource if you know how to use it correctly
