  • Listening skills. Vent #409.
    So, I introduce the Proposal for the Stretch Project today in my English 110 class (the 12wk one). A few ask me how long the paper has to be. I frown.
    “Were you in class on Friday when I introduced the Stretch Project?”
    “Yes.”
    “Interesting. Um, you have to teach us the topic you choose. There isn’t a paper involved.”
    “Really?”
    “Were you listening?”
    “Um, no.”
    “Huh.”

    And this is how/why teachers go insane.
