bearshortyToday was such a ridiculously warm summery day that I decided to just hold class outside. That was a really good decision. While the students might not have done as much work as they should have, they enjoyed it and I was able to talk to everyone individually. And it was warm and sunny and I got to spend three hours outside for once.
I do love magic excuses to miss class disappearing once you ask for proof. One guy asked to leave 30 minutes early because he had a “doctor’s appointment” that was very hard to get and I told him he could leave but he had to bring a note from the doctor. When 2:30 came around and he still didn’t leave, I asked him why and “his mother texted him about the cancelled appointment.” Why do students bother? We are not stupid.
Glee. It really, really bugs me that Rachel, one girl with clear ambition since the first episode is willing to give it all up for a boy. And it is in any way a valid choice. And what is with the trend of significant others filing your college applications for you and making those decisions?
