Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

E-Frame update: was late again for Graphics One this morning.

Now, he has one full absence on June 12 he can't make up for anymore.

Besides that, the times that he showed up late in class (except twice) are as follows: 8:51am, 8:38am, 8:26am, 8:10am, 8:14am and 8:26am.

Technically, he has four and a half absences. But I'm inclined to view the two times he showed up after the first thirty minutes, or at least when he showed up in the latter half of the class, as an absence already, even if he is still credited with the work for that session (albeit submitted late).

So I can either list him down as having five or 5.5 absences so far.

By my original standard, I still need at least 3 absences before I could give him a zero point zero. But by the policy discussed during the last faculty meeting, I only need three lates.

So which one am I inclined to follow? We'll see. It's not as if I'll tell him off the bat when he arrives for the crucial session that he's already failed. I will wait and see if his behavior doesn't change until the end of the term.

If I can present him with seven point five absences at my most conservative estimate, all the better (that means just waiting for 7 late appearances maximum, in almost two more months of meetings.

Mean, aren't I? But I could give the excuse that he's not a freshman anymore, and that I want to use him as an example to the freshmen classmates he has so that they don't emulate him, and that I'm tired of threatening him in class to attempt to get him to shape up - with a failing grade that is.

Session 2243 must get off this particular worn out soap box. Class dismissed.
