Three Days Into the Semester and

February 1st, 2012 at 03:50 am

and I already would like to yell at some of them. Despite my injunctions against texting in class, I caught FIVE of them in three classes texting. My new rule, "Each time I see you texting counts as half an absence." Our rule for this class is four absences and your grade drops; seven and you fail.

One student has missed two of three days of class and was 30 minutes late to the class he actually attended.

I'm full of alternating parts weariness and vitriol. But tomorrow is payday.

    I must be your tagteam partner for vitriol and weariness: a barking dog and a nattering cat assaulted my ears all day. I muttered I wanted alone time and I was reminded I had a scooter and "permission" to take off north or to an island for a recharge, as long as I did come back.

    Back in the day, I wanted to teach college. Sometimes your posts make me glad I didn't take that path! Smile

    Has the new rule cut down on the problem?

    There is a highly illegal way to fix that problem - a phone jammer. Big fine (11K) if they catch ya, but boy it would be satisfying.
