Today I had an exam with the distance learning students. The majority of them did their work, they came prepared and actually they got good grades.
But there were some who took this chance to excuse themselves. They put so much effort in excusing! God, sometimes I get tired of that. Because naturally, it’s not relevant for the exam that: they don’t have a computer at home (as if they have no friends/relatives and no cyber-cafes to go), they didn’t get hold of the application we use (but their DC++ at home is full of downloaded software), they „didn’t know” (but they didn’t send me any e-mails with questions) etc.
During the time they excuse themselves, I picture them in front of the computer, using this time: „Oh, I’m sorry (enough time for two clicks), I didn’t know that we had to (one drag and drop, one Enter) bring our pages done (Get text, Align left)„. By the time they finish the long emotional phrase, they can start working on a page.
One woman started to cry because I couldn’t ID her as a student (she didn’t have her student ID with her). I’m sorry, but there were cases when brothers/sisters/friends of students in the distance learning program came to the exam, instead of the actual students. So I have to be careful, there are thieves everywhere. They are so many and, as we meet only once a month, I can’d remember their faces.
Anyway, she told me she has two kids and no time to study. I told her I understand her, as I have 4 jobs. But may I reserve myself the right not to be impressed? I mean, from the humane point of view, I understand her, but she came to the exam as a student, not as a mother.
Finally, she came back with her ID.
As for students who don’t carry their IDs at the exam, what can I say? Okay, you don’t have it in the street, but for God’s sake, have it with you at the exam!
So, am I cyborg trying to be human or an unpaid priest or psychologist?
Haha..i didn’t have my ID..but I had the proove that I paid my taxes, I mean someone who came to bring it (with my name on it) so… I finally did it fine. Thanks God! Or you, because you accepted. It would have been the second time Im leaving this exam with an absence…and gosh, I really liked the idea of this exam. Because of me, 4 students called at their homes to bring them their ID (mom, dads, cats..). And they were in the 3rd year.
Anyhow, unpaid priests or psychologists are missing terms, so you can’t be the exception, right? Btw, good joke :))
But the big problem is that today, teachers like you (with a correctness out of the common) are like missing species, sooo…I guess that in this point you could agree.
About that woman, I can say I’m sorry for her. She was so scared before the exam that you just can’t realize. I told her to be calm, You’re not a killer. Just a bad bad teacher .kidding. So, did she pass?
But now, let’s be honest. In fact, my problem is not your correctness, just… It’s not my first time when I can’t be helped by the secretar, they allways have no time, I’m allways too late, they never can do an exception (that in the God’s name is an honest one). I didn’t ask her to talk with you to pass my exam, to modify any grade or something, I just wanted a proove that im a student at fjsc. What’s so difficult? I have my registration files there (with pics), I also have all my quittances, I’m part of a database. I think that if police was looking for me and would have came there to identify me, she would have done an exception. But me, loosing an exam it’s not a big deal…
So yes, I’m at distance learning, there is nobody that could tell me step by step what to do (even if talking with students, we cant tell each other everything, there are missing parts for sure). I can’t get no reduction on buses with that ID, I never had to show it (not even at R3, where for sure any of my friends could replace me) and so on. So…do you find that this one is a good attitude? Probably you do, but I don’t find it fair.
And as a P.S. , IF I pass in my 2nd year, I’ll allways bring my ID.
Yes, that woman passed. But believe me, not only because she has two kids.
Secretary problems are not mine. You can’t blame everything on them. They can release a certification only based on the student ID. If you don’t show it, it means you never received it. The file in the archive can be there because you never withdrew it, but it doesn’t mean you are a student.
There were students who didn’t take their IDs from the secretary. From my point of view, it means they are not motivated, so I don’t have to show mercy to them.
I’m not bad, as I accepted you based on the tax receipt. I just follow rules, but the others who make my life miserable are following them and they can’t wait to catch me with „a situation”.
