Re: A logical consequence for disrespect

[Drnanjo]

Thanks to all for ideas so far. This sub is a good instructor...she made the short list last year for a full time position and was a serious contender for a final interview. I did not "give" her material but I asked her to present on eating disorders and provided her with a couple of video options to supplement her lecture.   I am thinking I will   1) Talk frankly to them about my reaction to their behavior and my outrage on behalf of the sub (who is again interviewing this very week for a position with us, therefore under some degree of stress.) 2) Lecture for about 40 minutes on the scheduled topic of the day. 3) Give a pop quiz asking students to describe the information shared by a speaker we had last week, the sub, and discussing why leaving in the middle of class is unacceptable behavior.   It is actually very hard for me not to walk in there, read them the riot act, and cancel class. I am truly disgusted, and being an interviewer in the hiring process (losing 2 days this week) feel viscerally that I "have better things to do." Intellectually I recognize my obligation to the 12 or so students whose behavior was responsible, and I will not punish them that way, despite the temptation to do so.   Nancy Melucci Long Beach City College Long Beach CA --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
