I hated that question when I was in front of a class. Students who didn’t want to learn anything, they just wanted to pass. Clueless was the kindest adjective I might apply to them… And I was seldom that kind in my mental assessment. You’re there to learn – and I tried to encourage critical thinking. If you can think critically instead of just regurgitating what you see in print or on the news/web you have an education. If you can simply repeat what you were told you’re a trained chicken.
I don’t like that substitute teacher at all. It’s crazy to think you can do 4 chapters in so little time with a class you don’t know. What kind of delusional monster is she?

Will there also be a dress code… e.g., a class action suit.

I think she meant chapters four through eight.

Aeons ago, Daughters #1 and #2 were in a summer program for gifted and talented kids, at a university here in Indiana polis.
The prof said that the main difference between these kids and her undergraduates was that they never asked that question.

Today is the 13th. They’re going to do 4 chapters in less than two weeks? She is one AWESOME sub!

No, I just like seeing the look of despair in students’ faces — of COURSE it’ll be on the test!

3+22+243+4+5+6+7+8=298. And that’s all you need.

baldo’s neighbor’s mustache is in kind of a strange place, not to mention strange gender
