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.

There is a minor digit rollover landmark again today, celebrating 78 months (more than six years) of entries.

I probably am not the only one who has noticed the different changes in the tone of this blog since then.

@@ So earlier we had a seminar for administrators about quality management. I got introduced to a lot of business administration terms such as cost-benefit analysis.

I also found out that I was not the only one who saw a resemblance between our speaker and slacker co teacher, down to the expletives, the bald pate, the comfort in using the vernacular more than English and the extreme criticisms of food places.

The difference between the two of them is that this speaker of ours was impressive.

He had a lot of great ideas, and he was not just all excuses about why he did not have more output where he blamed everyone else around him for it. Just like that so-called student leader that I have gotten wary of, who points to the delay in the submission of another person why he cannot give what I am asking him to pass to the student affairs office.

At least now I have a new excuse for asking the students for more documentation: trending and templates.

The brother president was also there present, being the only one who interrupted the talk several times to ask about situations peculiar to his office, such as parents looking for someone to blame.

In the middle of that we had a conference as the discipline board, where we talked about the sanctions to be given to this student who copied a pornographic video on his phone, and another student who saw it and was caught by the discipline officer.

First off, the faculty secretary of the board was the one who was like a counselor to the student when I arrived.

The student was crying all the while (a big freshman, of all ironies) and the faculty secretary was asking how he felt.

And it got down to the number of seconds again that the student was holding the phone before the discipline officer approached whether he was innocent or intending to watch further.

In the end he got probation for one term while the other kid, who said he copied the file from another student (who will be the subject of a new case) will have a five-day suspension.

Probation, by the way, was also part of our definition as being at least one visit to the guidance counselor and 20 hours of community service.

Session 2801 will talk about the third and most senseless case tomorrow. Class dismissed.
