Heartless?

Today, writing another set of e-mails to students who had not cited their sources, or had not submitted copies to the website, or who missed the conference appointments last week and needed to schedule one this week, I found myself thinking of how much easier my job would be if I didn't make endless accommodations, and could bring myself to just slap a zero on those puppies and move on.

Puppies. Let's think about that for a moment....


Ah. I'm feeling much better now.

Several times this semester, I've said, "If you don't follow the instructions for this draft, I won't read it."

Did they following directions?
Nope.

Did I read the drafts anyway?
Yep.

Oops. That should be "follow," of course. It's late. I'm tired. Up till 2:00am last night grading. Tonight it's 11:00, and I'm dying.

Zeroes for all!
