I saw this kind of stuff every year when I was in college. Some of the instructors had the horrible nerve to assign homework the first day of class. You wouldn't believe the fuss put up by some of the students. The horror!! Being expected to work on the first day of class is like being boiled in oil, I guess. I would piss them off by asking, "What do you want, breakfast in bed? If being assigned homework is such an awful thing, what the hell are you even doing here? Do the world a favor, disenroll now, and go work at McDonald's."
