midterm grades are posted

16 F's out of 28 students. Only 4 of them have any hope of bringing themselves out. Uh, hard to pass when you've only been to class twice and NEVER turned in a single homework. One of the faculty members today said that if they're borderline (I was afraid to ask the definition of borderline), to pass them and save myself the paperwork. Oh, yes, there's paperwork for giving an F grade. One student got really snippy with an email to me. She said she's been busy and SHE TOLD me she was going to be out. Yes, one day, not FOUR! And?? That's why I gave you the work AHEAD of time TO DO - for the ONE day she was to be out... To put in my box BEFORE class. I still have NOTHING from her and she's pissy with me because she is getting an F???? Uh, sister, get with the program.

I sent a full email to the higher up peeps at the school and was like, look, I'm a new adjunct and may not know the rules, but WTF??? What is funny is that they've already asked me to come teach again....a class I wasn't sure I could fully teach...never took a specific class in this particular area. The guy was like, oh, you'll be fine.... yeah, probably because I only have to teach two chapters in a semester. I said I'd THINK about it. Oh please other job, call me... I cannot continue as an adjunct whore!
