アダムแอดัม 阳光 آدم

Mr/Dr Adam Tanielian taught math, English, and science from 2005 until 2024. Seventeen years in Thailand, China, and Saudi Arabia showed him that students, parents, and administrators can be culturally aware, retain their traditional identities, protect their legacies, embrace freedoms, change and progress while simultaneously supporting teachers and respecting the institution of education. A bit more than two years after repatriating, Dr T found that American schools are as fundamentally flawed as any critic has ever said, and more so. To be plain, working in American schools has been a heartbreaker, causing Adam to rethink his career choices. Luckily, he has other skills to fall back on if schools and their people can't get acts together with the aim of actually succeeding in some objective sense over time at some observable scale.

He has been conducting world-class research, maintaining engagement in arts, and staying physically fit. Dr T puts up math and English tutorials on YouTube (@dradamt1772). @adam_diagonally writes tiny twitter poems on X about the trifles and fascinations of the hour, in rhyme to put a smile on faces that might otherwise sour. Mister Tanielian puts in work on the keys: more than a decade and twenty-some peer-reviewed academic publications, plus a few longer monographs uploaded to SSRN, Academia.edu, Researchgate.net, and Scribd. In his spare time, he enjoys physical exercise - a daily habit he developed as a collegiate scholar-athlete at Michigan Technological University. Other than that, music and media entertainment round out the whole person. 

Sometime during my first undergraduate education at Michigan Tech, I had the dream of becoming an author. The Michigan Tech Lode and Copper Country Mining Gazette offered part time and freelance work. It was a departure from the electrical engineering courses I had been taking, and from the work at General Motors and Curwood I had done as an intern. Later, a WDET 101.9fm Detroit Public Radio news internship helped me develop more authentic journalistic standards, but I did not have luck in turning those ambitions or creative interests into a career. I have not yet seen a big payday, but over a couple decades, I have put pen to paper and fingers to keys, producing several thousand pages of copy, some of which I still proudly stand by. Below are four book-sized projects I authored. 

As always, moral rights reserved. Article 6bis principles were supported in Countermand v. Colorado, and given the jurisdictions from which I authored nearly all my creative literary works, I retain droit de moral; that is, I have right to object to any distortion, mutilation, modification, or other derogatory action in relation to my work which may be prejudicial to my honour or reputation. I also think droit de repentir is reasonable since pencils have erasers and keyboards have a delete key. Let's be reasonable, now shall we?
