We are in the computer lab again.
It's fun.
However, there are some unnamed students, rather one student whom I will not name, who has chosen to sit idly while I (note italics, underline, AND bold!) have been trying to help them. Now I realize I have been used.
Is my purpose to be used and discarded?
Like a tissue post nose bleed.
It's almost poetic...except that it hurts a little.
Am I being used if the students are so open about it? Their words do not have so much value that I have to attend every word, indeed I can choose my own words and opinions and actions. I love comma splices, if they are used sparingly and purposefully. Eat that adverb!
Your most outraged teacher.
