Enlightenment?

So, on another note entirely (thank goodness):

The fact that my 10 years working with the criminally insane perfectly prepared me for my current career as an Algebra professor is something I do not want to discuss in too much detail, but I do want to say this: Like repeat offenders, some students just do not get the message.

Case in point:

I am currently in the middle of a “dialogue” with a “student” that, so far, has used 5,274 words to explain the appropriate online comportment expected of a college student and 5,132 words to react inappropriately to these explanations.

I find myself wondering, “Is this bitch ever going to shut up?”

And I realize that, most likely, the student is wondering the exact same thing.

Should I laugh over the irony of it all or weep over the set of circumstances that has caused me to become so “understanding” of the mirror we provide for others?
