One of my top ten despised phrases is when a parent uses the, “my spouse is a teacher so...” Oh so now you know everything! OKAY! What’s one of your ton ten?#teacherproblems#topten
@RustedSteele @woodnbeer@MarleyLatham@chrisjsuggs@sabrinacoast_ This feels like a philosophical problem: who’s to blame for that policy? We can agree it lacks compassion but why was it created? Was it the bad job, the bad boss, or the bad worker? A case for all three can be made.
@RustedSteele @woodnbeer@MarleyLatham@chrisjsuggs@sabrinacoast_ That’s a shitty boss who’d do that to you and an even shittier one who’d have no compassion but there are shit people who take advantage too. I’m speaking from hard work not hard labor that is a difference I agree. I hold myself to a high standard always have.
@LABorn100 @woodnbeer@chrisjsuggs@sabrinacoast_ What age student? I’ve known many a 19yr old who have flunked out their freshman year. I wouldn’t blame the professor for that. An old prof of mine said if you aren’t ready for collage take a break until you are, based on the idea that many young kids don’t pass her class.
@MarleyLatham@Kattastrophic13@Fredminton8@woodnbeer@chrisjsuggs@sabrinacoast_ Agreed. I’m sure this prof. could have been more sensitive because he wasn’t a business paying an employee time off. But on the flip side profs can catch a lot of flack & possibly lose a teaching position if they have a high fail rate. Which might them be the reason for asking
@LABorn100 @woodnbeer@chrisjsuggs@sabrinacoast_ This professor obviously had some policy and didn’t think it through when asking for this proof. It’s heartless, but I can see the flip side where the prof looses their job because of low pass rate. So to ensure passing kids instills a attendance policy.
@LABorn100 @woodnbeer@chrisjsuggs@sabrinacoast_ Agreed. I think this stems from the pass rate for the school & possibly the teacher. That teacher is asked about each failing grade and must justify it. If a college student isn’t mature enough to attend and then fails the teacher must justify why the kid failed & the college too
@chrisjsuggs I am sorry for your loss.
When I went to school we didn’t need to provide proof if we were absent. The professor didn’t take roll. Passing rates dropped and collages started taking roll. We’ve got a problem when tuition is paid and kids are failing classes.
@levarburton I love for these checkins and welcome the warm feeling it gives me. I might be having a bad Friday, but this kind of reminds me to make the most of my day and be happy.
@ShoefoneWeasley Um right?!? My husband was like duh! I kept saying it’s all in her head like her visions and he’s over here thinking it’s both the character’s names. 😂
One positive for me is I am being continually amazed by my students especially my senior students. It is a joy to grade their work and see how they view poems and artwork. I am very impressed by these students!
Putting some good vibes out there today! I think we need this. Leave a positive or take a positive!
I see you and hear you my twitter friends, keep on keeping on!
