I was going to write this letter to express my disappointment in your latest assignments, but I decided that letter would sound to harsh to you. Instead, I decided to tell this little story.
Early this morning, as I pulled into the parking lot here at Best Buy University, I saw a hare. It was still brown from the long summer. I watched as it moved quickly across the paved lot, still devoid of cars. It came to a major campus road. Then, it moved a few yards up the road to a crosswalk. At that point, it sat until a truck went by. Then, it crossed the road and disappeared between other buildings.
Now class, I don't expect you to understand the lesson from the hare. Oh, sorry, bunny rabbit. Apparently, you don't understand much of what I say or ask you to read. But, I bet the bunny could explain it better.
I invite each of you to go out early tomorrow morning and see if you can find the bunny rabbit. It's there still. Right there, across the road.
But don't wait for traffic to stop!

ReplyDeleteStudents: "Will this be on the exam?"
ReplyDeleteWhen I was an undergrad, there was a groundhog who hung out by our dorm. I wish someone had told me then he was only there to pass out crib sheets for the statistics exams. Could've used all the help I could get.
ReplyDeleteStudents: "If we find the bunny, do we get extra credit?"
ReplyDeleteStudents: "Where is that on the syllabus?"
ReplyDeleteStudent: "I thought this class was about Hamster Fur Weaving."
