1. Why did we have to have class today? My other ones were cancelled.
Congratulations! You'll be one day less smart in that subject.
2. Why did you schedule the midterm for today?!
I didn't, but the Texas snow cancelled an entire week of coursework....so, unless you want to work through Spring Break, you'll take it today and thank me for it.
3. I could have been on vacation already.
Yes, you could be on vacation on any day. Remember than I have 120 students.....how much do you think I like hearing this repeated 120 times?
4. Why do teachers always make us work on the last day before vacation?
Uh.....are you aware you're in college? Did you think we just sat around blowing spit bubbles?
5. Do we have homework over Spring Break?
Do you know how to read a syllabus?
6. Can we not have homework over Spring Break?
Sure. But be prepared to do two weeks worth of work in one when you come back.
7. Why is Spring Break only a week?
Do you realize how much you will forget over a week and I'll have to reteach you? Any more and we might as well start all over again.
8. My other professor cancelled class on Friday. Do you think I can ask him if I can leave early on Thursday?
Yes, your professor will love that. We love it when we give you an inch and you try to take seventy-six miles.
9. Vacation is vacation! We shouldn't have homework.
Fine, then don't complain every other day since you're not on vacation.
10. I so need this vacation.
Right.....it's all about you. I don't need a break at all, teaching is all rainbows and sunshine all the time. That's why we have so many wonderful teachers in the world!
