A Model Former Student Not Acting Ideally

Student "edition" found at {thoughts dot com slash typed no space out no space loud slash blog}.

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

Right now I have a problem with our recent graduate and board exam passer turned teacher.

He was chummy with some slacker types of his batch, even shared a dorm with them.

At first I also looked down on them for not passing their math and science courses.

But eventually I saw their redeeming qualities and grew to like them, even attending the wedding of one.

Now that most of them are gone though, this co-teacher of mine seems to have adapted another group of misfits, this time the same one that his old gang used to make fun of.

I already had a problem before when he passed E-frame in the introduction to robotics class with a grade of two-point-zero, which at the time he was so proud of saying should disappoint him for being the lowest of their class.

But back then I didn't say anything; not that I'm going to say anything now either.

This guy who failed in my astronomy class this term he already passed in mathematical methods one last term, and is also taking trigonometric applications under him now.

Or he did until the term ended today. I bet he passed the student again despite grumbling before about the student not showing up for consultation like they scheduled.

Also, the guy does not show as much effort he does in that computational subject as my relative less taxing one.

One of this guy's group, he even passed in the lab quiz, despite not having been present during the last experiment which the quiz was about, and even though all that time he was chatting with inarguably the smartest girl in class. So there's no question as to where he got his correct answers from.

After my co-teacher computed the merged grade of the lecture and the lab today, he even emailed me asking me probably in what he thinks is a discreet manner if there is a loophole for these students to pass. Not bloody likely.

I'm more disappointed in him now for asking than in the students.

Session 2643 is especially high on ideal graduate attributes and cannot be budged. Class dismissed.
