If it's Tuesday, then I must be teaching. Today I will be working with two sets of introductory literature students along with one class of developmental writers. Fortunately, this semester my students are serious about their educations and are dedicated, hard workers who want to learn about writing and reading.
It pains me greatly when students come to my class, expecting me to pass them just because they show up. (If they come, why do they have to do the work?) It also upsets me when weaker students, who need extra course support by way of office visits with me or tutorials at the Learning Center, do nothing to help themselves.
We, as educators, need to help students discover their minds. What will happen to our city, state, and world, if we don't?
