I like interacting with students--I really do. I wouldn't be in this profession if I didn't think it was worthwhile and if it didn't bring me a great deal of satisfaction.
There are students who can make a day better all on their own.
And then . . . there are those (and this year it seems like I've had more than my share) whose very voice begins to grate, who do not understand when enough is enough, who provide far too many WTF?!? moments per week.
Today's example: same student does the following:
- tells me that he's decided his personal philosophy is "existentialism trumps idealism"
- gets up and leaves class in the middle of our discussion
- tells me that I seemed mad today.
