Top Ten Signs That You Just Don't Care
You've taken Chemistry for two years and you can't spell "molecule".
You've spoken English for 16 years and you can't spell "positive".
You STILL haven't noticed that, for seven months, not a single one of my questions has required an answer with more than three significant figures (you put in a minimum of 6 sig figs just to look reeeeallly precise).
You scribble your actual answer somewhere between brutal cross-outs.
Extra-help? We don't need no steeenking extra help!
Homework? Yes, it's called "WATCH TEE VEE".
Units? Units are for loo zzzers.
You think the word "due" means "three weeks after it's due or the day before the end of the quarter, whichever comes later".
I have other things to do than to pass your class...like getting into an amazing college! (and not seeing ANY inconsistency in that statement).
Three point six seconds after Cicale starts talking, I will put on my patented ZOMBIEFACE and start to dream vapid thoughts. After the third time that I've been asked a question, I'll acknowledge it for the first time; then I'll guess.
Just some things that have been bothering me from about half of the AP class and about one eighth of the Honors classes. In case you haven't noticed, I am trying hard to get you all to do well; I would like some reciprocity.
Oh, one more: What's a blog???
Let me finish this by noting that, no joke, I am very proud of most of you and APPRECIATE the great effort that MOST of you are making. As people in general, I am glad to know ALL of you, NO exceptions, but I am frustrated that some of you are wasting your potential.
