Student "edition" found at {thoughts dot com slash typed no space out no space loud slash blog}.

Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

Finally, slacker co-teacher has grown a spine that he is answering back to the brother president in the technical panel meetings for the faculty manual.

And it only took the school director sticking his neck out for him to do it, as well as reaching his own level of frustration to the point of not caring about getting fired anymore.

This is after a lot of his jokes during the last meeting about not being here next year because his comments against the brother president were recorded.

@@ I've already told here about how the students are whining about how difficult the experiment is even though it's already non-computational compared to the previous lab.

But now when I threaten them with just going back to the computational experiments, they back off.

These students don't know when to take a good thing when they see it, and that just a little hardship is already enough for them to complain. I wonder how that attitude will translate to their workplace eventually when they graduate.

Will they complain to their superiors that what is being asked of them is too much to do?

This really is a bad habit that they shouldn't take with them to their job, or learn the hard way.

@@ Yesterday I met with a new brother who will be working here starting next school year.

But get this: he will be working as a grade school or high school teacher, not as an administrator.

I guess this is supposed to make him more approachable for the students, faculty and staff, that despite the current brother president being so open in hanging out with the employees and "clients", that some still hold him at an arm's length or more.

He asked me where I thought he could help out in terms of being involved in the college, and I said it could be in the student organizations and activities.

What I found curious is that he said he didn't find teaching in college "challenging".

Session 2567 foresees that next school year is promising to look very interesting. Class dismissed.
