Y'all know I love teaching, and I love my "kids." Well, most of them. The ones who actually show up and participate in class. The ones I get to know because they actually show up to class.
In a previous post, I told you about the Alaska transplant who said he came to Alabama for SEC football and southern belles. Well, he's come up with another quotable quote.
Today, I walked into class and several students were poring over a thick book reminiscent of a dreaded literature textbook. I mentioned it, and that opened the floodgate of commentary on the instructor of the nutrition class the textbook was for. The commentary was not complimentary. In fact, I should not have listened. But I couldn't help myself. Gossip is one of my failings. Big surprise.
The rantings ranged from how much they hated the class (for various reasons) to the fact that the instructor's not a professor and doesn't even teach on campus full-time.
Mr. Alaska pipes up and says, "Why should we have to pay full price for a half price instructor?"
And haven't we all had that feeling at one time or another?
Yep. More than once.
Ahem, a "dreaded literature book?" Me doth protest!
