When I move
You move

I expect more from you, Spruce.
I'll see you after class

ma'am, this is the last time i'm gonna tell you to stop that before i call Costco security.
If one more motherfucker walks in and says this shit in target I'm gonna lose it

Did nobody get the reference or is everybody in on the joke?
You have some bug jousting reference you wanna let the class in on?
-
i'm not a teacher, but if i was i'd excuse it just because they took the effort to compose such a crazy story. probably learned more than i'd have taught them that day a anyway
I’m newly a teacher (of adults), and I accept literally any excuse anyone gives me. I suspect that I’ll change that as time goes on, but I don’t even really get excuses.

Last time i've read this it hadn't had that huge white spacing.

There's no bug. But there's a mirror and that student has turned into a bug.
Totally Kafkaesque.

Sir this is not a bug, it's a hot dog

That time I was reincarnated as a bug and got spooked by my own reflection.

This may have worked. I once excused a student for being late because the geese were being aggressive.
who cares about collage attendance?
in my uni no one cared, of you're late, it's just a bit rude, of you don't show up, no one cares.
what matters are the graded assignments and exams. if a student aces those but never stepped in a lecture hall, does that matter?

Kafkaesque as shit

The specific wording of the note is a direct reference to Kafka's metamorphosis! So depending on the class and year, teacher should be proud.
I really really should have noticed that, thank you that makes this so much better.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I'll generally accept it if you send any excuse prior to the lecture unless it's becoming a habit - in those rare cases I'll happily work with them to try and figure out a solution. 80% of the time it's family medical appointments or childcare scheduling issues (and my gosh I am so happy to accommodate people dealing with that) and the rare cases it's not we can usually find a way to make up for what they've missed. I've got a couple colleagues that only accept excuses with a doctor's note, and the best thing I can say about them is that they're
retiring soonincredibly passionate about teaching.(none of this applies to freshman courses, though. We've learned that being really strict about attendance for freshman year boosts passing rates by like 30%, it's just crazy.)

I accepted "I'm sorry, it was just too nice a day to spend it sitting in a basement with no windows" once because man, they had a point.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]One of my biggest pet peeves in college was professors who took attendance. Bitch, I'm paying you to be here, if I don't want to come to class, that's on me. It was usually when they knew that most people could skip every class and still pass.
I even once had a class in a lecture hall with at least 100 students, where the teacher took attendance using some stupid "clicker" thing that we had to buy at the school bookstore. Ridiculous. Pisses me off just thinking about it.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Okay setting aside that I've never ever seen someone try that and actually succeed, why would someone shell out for a college lecture if they're going to do that anyways? My syllabus is good, but it's not all that useful for independent study time. (You also can't replicate lab or seminar time on your own, so I'm just not sure what you're basing this on.)
