Great post... I think doc will find the public universities disagree with him. Wait until he flunks a legislators kid.. The totalitarian left and the federal money that pays his salary will not be happy. They want and have always wanted,numb, dumb controllable sheep..must like the taliban, the slave traders and all socialists. Their kids get all the goodies and education, they just make you think you are too.... But you are their pawns for pleasure.

I ‘d like my professor to use proper grammar, i.e. the proper plural of syllabus.

[Tax-chick]

Don’t change your danged syllabus after the semester begins!

[Drango]

I might even write the government and petition for your deportation.

LOL

Adams tends to dilute the effectiveness of his message with something of a crude, tough-guy act.

Professors, like anybody, tend to get the respect that their own behavior merits.

There is one thing guaranteed to happen to you in such a scenario: You will get fired.

I doubt it. If you're showing up for work on time and sober, not stealing, and otherwise showing signs of being a useful employee, your supervisor is very likely to say, "I don't know, call HR," and have you get back to work.

I have noticed a absurd number of students who have to go to the bathroom despite 15 minute in-between breaks and 50 minute classes.

Bumping for later

I have students that are drivers for the volunteer ambulance corp and others who are members of the volunteer fire department. When their phones go off, they have an automatic pass to get up from their seats and rush to the fire station (even if they are taking an exam).

People may say that I'm a dreamer. And perhaps I'm the only one.

Imagine that.

[faithhopecharity]

Mike alssumes his students csn read?!

[riverdawg]

If Adams didn't want to teach students with a “grammar-school mindset,” he shouldn't have taken a job at UNC-W. /snark

Universities are supposed to prepare people to be productive citizens.

Um...no. Not they're not. The idea is downright creepy and weird.

[LurkedLongEnough]

Thanks for the smile.

I had a professor like this - and he taught National Security Counterintelligence, thankfully, a useful course.

I recently had a student try to download an excel template for a six week project just two hours before it was due.

When he couldn't download the template, he sent me an email and asked what I was going to do about it.

I gave him a zero.

Awesome! I believe this is more for the amusement of colleagues than to scold students. We all ask dumb questions, the author is just blowing off steam (as an Econ prof., I understand his frustration!..)

This will be shared.
I'm tired of hearing colleagues bitching about stuff like this.
