I just have to get this out of my system! I HATE LIARS!! I had a student (who was doing her poetry presentation this morning), come in before class, set everything up for her and her partner, then tell me she had her
SEOP (she's a senior, and in danger of not graduating). I told her that her partner couldn't do the presentation alone, since it was put together by both of them, and that's
how I was grading them. We waited, and waited. She did not return, so I put "Dead Poet's Society" on (the movie). I was planning on showing the class this great movie at the end of the year, anyway. After class ended, I went to look for this young lady, and low and behold I found her, and she, very innocently, told me she was at the
counsellors office. I checked with the counsellor, and found out she was not there. Wow, was I miffed. I approached the girl, and she still denied going home, instead of the counsellor, but since I was way smarter than she was, I laughed out loud and said Ah-Hah, I caught you, you dirty rotten scounderel! You lied to me, and you will pay dearly. I didn't really say that to her, but she will pay. Seriously, since I gave her a second chance to do her presentation, and she blew it off, she more than likely won't graduate, since she needs my class. Why is it that kids just can't be honest, and do the right thing? My Sunbeams in Primary even know that!
OK, I feel better, now. I hope this didn't bore you to death.
