O.T. education deficit Re: yet another question

Howdy!

You can take a pig out of the sty
but you can't remove the stink.

You can put a twit in the classroom
but you can't make her think.

Miz Thang's education deficit is showing. Again.

Here is a sad but true story. Yesterday was the final exam in a course I
am taking. The class has met every week, Monday afternoon, from 2:00 pm
until 5:00 pm. The final exam was scheduled for 2-5 pm.

Before the actual exam there was a survey we had to fill out about the
teacher, administered by the dept. chairman -- duration about 20-25
minutes.

Next the teacher had some "housekeeping" things to deal with and went
down her assignments list to tell people what ones they still had
outstanding and that they could get them to her by midnight today and
still get partial credit. Duration 20 minutes or so.

Then she started to tell us how much she enjoyed having us in class and
opportunities for over the summer -- would probably have been a 5 minute
thing, had she been allowed to finish.

A female student (late teens or early twenty something) stood up and
said "how much longer is THIS going to go on?" and could she PLEASE have
her exam NOW because she had scheduled a doctor's appointment at *4:00*
in a town about 30 minutes away!

I, and several others, were just appalled! As we were straggling up to
the front to hand in our papers later, almost everyone commented on the
rudeness and apologized to the teacher *except* Ms Rudeness herself. So sad.
