Correction: there are correct ways of speaking English.

And yes, being late is a bad thing. Its a bad thing thats handled by one's supervisors however, not subordinates. (In this case I'm calling students subordinates.)

Yes, making fun of the way someone speaks and saying "you people" is a bad thing to do, I just don't think it makes someone a hate monger or dyed in the wool racist. Old people are old.

Just felt the thread had a certain aura of "lynch mob" hovering around it and thought it could use a less extreme voice.

Yeah but if the subordinates don't inform the supervisors of the transgression, how will they find out about it?
The other teachers aren't going to notice, they're busy with their own classes. The supervisors don't go from class to class making sure everyone is in attendance.

So where else would they find out?

Bullshit, the students are customers. They have every right to complain and the teacher should be fired if they don't arrive to lessons on time. This isn't a one off issue. Nikose is talking about a constant problem, if I behaved that way I'd totally get into serious shit if it carried on for any length of time and I run my department.

I can see what you're saying there and it would be pertinent if the tardiness was affecting the quality of the education.

So I guess it depends on whether its a legitimate issue or just a kick in the pants because people don't like the teacher.

Also sounds like a pretty bullshit class that doesn't require much "teaching" to begin with. Most non-degree specific undergrad classes are pretty much a waste of fucking time anyways.

But yes, I agree that's a relevant concern.

@Sifright: If you "run your department" I'm sure you're well aware of such issues as "staffing", "union representatives", "qualifications" and "tenure."

That's a lot of snide quotation marks in one sentence, probably went a little overboard.

The entire rest of the thread had been perfectly reasonable and not at all extreme (some snarking aside) till you showed up. If all that was "lynch mob" then I don't even know what to make of the second half of your post.

Yeah, no. "This teacher's late all the time, but it's okay because we weren't learning all that much to begin with?"

Funka Genocide · 03-07-2011, 05:47 PM

Yeah I probably say fuck too much. My bad.

Also "all the time" is subjective and may or may not be entirely accurate depending on who's telling the story. Like I said, if it is an issue then yeah formal complaints are warranted. I just don't really trust anything the OP says so meh.

Would you trust it if it came from the mouth of Charlie Sheen?
