This kind of bullshit just astonishes me and makes me feel like the old lady on the lawn ranting at the kids on bikes. <br /><br />In my day, sonny, we followed the damn directions. Maybe we bitched about them to our friends, but openly challenge the teacher (much less the professor) about the requirements of an assignment?

But I usually just followed them, because it wasn't so hard (and if I felt I had a good reason for an exemption -- not that there were none meeting the formula, but that some other combination worked better -- I talked to the Contingent Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08161652083031423415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-70264439209022331592013-06-28T15:27:04.730-04:002013-06-28T15:27:04.730-04:00Amen.Amen.Contingent Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08161652083031423415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-71044838353381010012013-06-28T09:21:30.232-04:002013-06-28T09:21:30.232-04:00Hold them to it, Bella.

Would they drive down a street that has a sign "Do Not Enter One Way?" Hopefully not, unless they're too busy texting while driving. <br /><br />This situation could come in handy at the end of the semester when the grade grubbers whine.
