Day 23

After yesterday’s fiasco I didn’t really feel like I could do anything

By the time Richard and Kathryn got upI had already posted day 22 and was just sitting in my bedroom, staring at the wall. I’m not sure if they even noticed me or if they said goodbye before leaving. Either way, I don’t really care.

I didn’t have the will do anything productive and I certainly didn’t feel like making a new test for those ungrateful pricks I’m supposed to be teaching, so today I just gave them the exact questions I gave to the last three students on Thursday.

I was pretty sure that by now everybody had them, as well as their answers, taken right out of the textbook. I figured they would all probably be done in 30 minutes and I could use the rest of the class to talk to them and finally have a proper lecture – the way I expected it was going to be in the beginning. Plus, I figured everyone would get a high result, which would help me in my plan to get my students’ grades up.

Boy, did I underestimate them – the first student to finish (not surprisingly it was Emely) was done in under 7 minutes. The last one to give me his sheet and exit the room right after, did it in 12.

Astounding! I remember when I was a student and we had answers to a quiz, at least we pretended we were making an effort.

By the way, I forgot to tell them that I won’t be giving a lecture tomorrow in order to check their quizes, but I have the feeling that the already knew they weren’t coming to class.
