"we never learn anything"

Tagged as humor because I couldn't help but laugh when I saw this.

I was out Thursday. Part of the "me being out" routine is a form where the students tell me how the day went. One student took this opportunity to tell me that I never teach anything, and all I do is give assignments. A direct quote is "how much can we read on our own?"

Friends, Romans, countrymen...

This student has been caught plagiarizing from the Internet at least 3 times. She declined the opportunity to do test corrections. She has a 35% in my class. I'm not exuberant about how this class is going (I'm in a weird lts position) but still...enough students are succeeding that I think I've done what I can with her.
