Gotta Get This Off My Chest

Okay. I just have to blog about this. I am very frustrated by a few things about school and if I don't spill it, it is going to start to erode my attitude.

First of all, this is a very expensive education I am getting. Since I am paying about $295 per credit hour, I want every bit of class time, every bit of my instructors time and talent. What I don't want is back biting, people leaving their cell phones on, even if they have their phone on vibrate, they jump up, leave the class room and disrupt class. I hate that people stroll in to class 1, 2, 3 hours late and there are no consequences, people who do not have the commitment to come to class each and every time class is being held. It irritates me that these students, feel the need to be know it alls, and pretend that they have all the answers, when clearly they don't. They are not fooling anyone and baby, I know it will all come out in the wash in the end, but. . . I still find this incredibly rude and irritating. Don't sit by me to see my answers, don't ask me what I got for whatever question you don't know. You know what? I studied and I am earning my degree, NOT YOURS!!!!! And please, when the instructor is talking, they are talking for a reason, so SHUT UP!!!!!

We are all adults in these classes and I know we are making our own choices, but, you know what, when your choice starts to interfer with my choice, I have a MAJOR PROBLEM! I respect you, please do the same for me. I work hard for the grades that I get. I study, study, study. I study constantly. So, unless we are working in a group or doing a pop quiz where we are allowed to collaberate, don't ask me the answers that I have. They are mine, not yours.
