Oh My

Well, I've made approximately 10 students rethink their schedules and drop my course because it's just too much work.

I had two frantic students emailing me asking what my "feelings" were in regard as to whether or not I believe they could survive my class.

One in particular showed up during office hours and, literally, starting bawling her eyes out. I j-j-j-j-uus-s-s-s-t-t c-c-cannn't t-t-t-aaak-k-e th-the p-p-pres-s-s-s-sure!"

I told my mom all about it and in her wonderful accent she says, "Oh you American kids! You're so pampered! Tell them to shape up or ship out!"
