Today a student called me an asshole because I told him that he needed to revise his paper. This is a kid I have bent over backwards for all year. I have let him turn assignment after assignment late. I am done. He gets 0 slack.
Son of a bitch. You DON’T curse me in class when I have been nothing but nice to you.
Luckily, when I explain to 3rd period how angry I am they behave like gorgeous little angels and tell me they love me and appreciate me.
Oops, bad move.
Rule #1: don’t piss off people who have power over you and have given you slack anyway.
I never would have thought of calling one of my teachers asshole to their face. I’m sure I was a dick a few times, but never that blatant.
I hope in addition to “no slack” he also got a referral.
Yup. And he is not in my classroom today.
Understood. Interesting how often it is the ones that ask for us to bend over backwards repeatedly that value it so little when we do. Guess that would be what they call a sense of entitlement. Is yucky, it is.
Hooray for your little angels and for you who inspires such devotion.
