So here we are in the hopes of maintaining our regular lively, witty, and often bizarre conversations. More importantly, we're here in the hopes of remaining friends. We've done amazingly well in dealing with each other so far, and I think we would all agree life would be less something without one another. So, here's to us...vive le singe de la pipe! *Monkey dances and plays symbols.*

Am I Terrible?

I've had a lot of drops this semesters. A couple of my classes have decreased significantly. The ones who dropped are students who never showed or didn't turn things in, but still. It makes me wonder...

  1. Apparently, retention is a huge problem at the community college level--some profs lose as much as 50% of their courses.

    As long as you've done your due diligence to stay in contact with the students who have been there and turned things in, you should be fine.

    You ultimately can't control rather they show up or not or rather they turn things in.

  2. I'm relieved that I'll being moving on. It'll be nice to have a break from these worries. Of course, I'll have a whole new set, but at least they'll be worries I've had years of practice in dealing with.

    In the future I'll be hailing adjuncts as some of the strongest, most taken advantage of people I've ever known.

    Brandi, I take my hat off to you. May you find a full-time position with employers who appreciate you.
