Shut it: Student Version

Dear New Students,
Please do not complain when I ask you to write a summarizing paragraph after watching a video. Do you know what I have to do?

I have to read horrid sentences like

"They dispel any remaining assumptions we may hold that tracking decisions are systematically objective and rational; they show that arbitrary and idiosyncratic placement decisions are common, and can be related to seat availability in classes or students’ ascribed characteristics."

200 pages of that. And then take notes. And then write a ten page paper analyzing my school through the lens of said crap.
Every week.

So, please. Shut it. You may have it rough at home, but you have no idea what hard work is.

Love,
Miss J
