As the numbers of essays, exams, and projects to grade piles up, the number of distractions that can reasonably keep me from grading them all grows proportionally.
I teach at a mid-size Christian liberal arts college on the East coast. (Actually, it's on the West coast, but I'm trying to keep vaguely anonymous here!) My only hope is that I'll be able to keep my mind distracted during the graduation address. Last year, the speaker spent quite a lot of time telling the students to avoid playing cards, drinking, dancing, and going to R-rated movies after they graduate.
Thank you very much for your lovely legalism, sir! I'll keep it in mind. It's so nice to be told a set of rules that you have to follow--it means you don't have to think! And, since our students haven't been asked to think while they were at our college, why should we expect or even want them to think once they leave it?
Graduation is Tuesday. I'm hoping to bring a pack of cards to the ceremony.
