64. What A Ridiculous Statement. Your Reply Proves The Exception To My Compliment About du Readers

Sat Aug 10, 2013, 01:24 AM

Aug 2013

I don't know what orifice you pulled "think so "highly" of your students but put it back-- it doesn't make a bit of sense. If you have any exposure to students at virtually any educational level you would realize that social promotions, standardized testing, and trophies for "Endeavoring to Persevere" have created students who embody solipsism--they think it so, therefore it is so. I teach because I enjoy the challenge these students present. The old me would have strung together a slew of profanities but I am endeavoring to persevere at not using profanity....even to you!
