ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll probably get a question about this when they see their participation grades because of course the times they are COMPLETELY clueless as to why on earth their participation grade should suffer are the times their participation is completely lacking, but wooooooo, big mystery!! Why, for example, when we do an activity during which one young fellow is simply sitting in the corner mentally wacking off rather than even looking at the material, WHY when I then start asking people to respond using the stuff they were just supposedly practicing with their partner and he has no fucking answer whatsoever and when he tries to pull it out of his ass it comes out all bent up and poopy and nowhere close to anything resembling a successful, communicative sentence, WHY do I then get the "Why are you such a bitch?" look when I (controlling myself admirably) very gently and respectfully help him get somewhat closer to a modicum of acceptable French?

I am so absolutely fucking sick of people who won't simply do what they are supposed to fucking do!!!! To say nothing of the fact that this kid could talk circles around everyone else in there since he's already had umpteen years of French and is only with us for the easy A (which, at this rate, he will have a hard time bringing to fruition -- no small measure of justice as far as I'm concerned).

The world is full of this kind of dumb smart-alec who doesn't understand anything.

Of course there's a lot of knowledge in universities: the freshmen bring a little in; the seniors don't take much away, so knowledge sort of accumulates.

  If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.  

- Frank Zappa  

In school, we had a policy of never studying unless it was absolutely necessary, and still got high-to-mediocre grades. This convinced us that we were smarter than the average citizen, and actually, we're still thinking that way.

  ...I hesitated; with the lack of self-knowledge I'd exhibit for years to come, I'd signed up for an eight o'clock class.

You can lead a boy to college, but you cannot make him think. - Elbert Hubbard

  ...Meanwhile, the Internet's booming, and kids we gave C pluses to are waltzing out of college and getting rich on stock options while we bust our asses for a pathetic stipend that doesn't even cover the rent.  

- Tom Perrotta, Little Children  

You have four years to be irresponsible here. Relax. Work is for people with jobs. You'll never remember class time, but you'll remember time you wasted hanging out with your friends. So, stay out late. Go out on a Tuesday with your friends when you have a paper due Wednesday. Spend money you don't have. Drink 'til sunrise. The work never ends, but college does.

 - Tom Petty  

Colleges are like old-age homes, except for the fact that more people die in colleges. 

- Bob Dylan
