I'm a Millenial, teaching Millenials. Sometimes, it hurts the brainmeats.

Dammit, my internet got turned off and I just paid the bill is not an acceptable reason for your final not being in on time.

[Sad Teacher @emoprof]

It's also not an espository essay either. Where do these kids learn to spell?

[Sad Teacher @emoprof]

Thank you for handing in your ezposatory essay on time. Next time, take a moment to spell expository correctly.

[Sad Teacher @emoprof]

@temper_temper Yes you do.

[Sad Teacher @emoprof]

"Critical hit for Wall of Text?" "Yeah, something like that. Use a hard return, paragraph breaks won't kill you, kid."

[Sad Teacher @emoprof]

Uh... WTH is so tough about following directions?? You all must think I type these things up for my health.

[Sad Teacher @emoprof]

1) condescending "here's what you should do" attitude, 2) conspiratorial tone 3) psudoscience and faulty logic 4) lack of citation.

[Sad Teacher @emoprof]

I know what the problem is with their writing style: they write everything like it's a magazine article in womens magazine:

[Sad Teacher @emoprof]

Or, y'know, pay for a legitimate copy of Word. Whatever.

[Sad Teacher @emoprof]

Dude, I don't care if your asgnmnt is a screencapped .jpg of your out-of-date trial of Word at this point--just quit whining and get it in.

[Sad Teacher @emoprof]

@temper_temper I'd say Tempy or Tempie. I lean toward Tempy though cos I think Tempie looks a little southern. And reminds me of pie.

[Sad Teacher @emoprof]

PS, no you are NOT allowed to flame your fellow students regarding spelling and usage errors. It's MY job to make them feel bad, not yours.

[Sad Teacher @emoprof]

I've said it before, I will say it again: I DO NOT GIVE FULL MARKS JUST FOR COMPLETING THE ASSIGNMENT. Is this third grade!?

[Sad Teacher @emoprof]

Bad, BAD cheaters. Of course, GOOD cheaters are never properly appreciated by the system because they are never caught.

[Sad Teacher @emoprof]

Mostly because it's about public speaking. And the sources you're trying to use are the required readings for Public Speaking. *sigh*

[Sad Teacher @emoprof]

Yes, I know you recycled that outline from your public speaking class.

[Sad Teacher @emoprof]

Noooo, you don't get points for just trying real hard. I actually *do* grade these things. *sigh* #studentemails

[Sad Teacher @emoprof]

And I'm only whining because I have HAD pregnant students before. THEY got their work in before the assgn due date and their OWN due date.

[Sad Teacher @emoprof]

I'm glad your wife had a baby. Did YOU have the baby? NO. So why is your homework late? *grumble grumble*

[Sad Teacher @emoprof]

I *know* this is a complain professors have had since the dawn of time. I may have perpetrated this a time or two. But OMGWTF!?
