The way people imagine a bad student, some jock who gives back sass to the teacher? A black boy who sags his pants and swears while grabbing his unmentionables listening to his hip-hop 8 track tape doo-dad? A cheerleader who needs an A in her class, the one that’ll do annnnyyyyything to get it… ANYTHING. I imagine a different student. A student who finds the material engaging, enjoys the teacher, and always can pitch in for the discussion.
Do you know what that kid does? Almost every fucking time? She decides that she actively won’t do any of the work at all until the literal last last minute. I’m not talking finals, I’m talking about asking for an extension, and then given the extra month, I still chose to do everything last minute. I think this is gonna be a C grade at best. And I was very lowkey excited to have all Bs or higher this semester. I don’t even think she got all of my late work due to the deadline.
I know this is short. Another short one before midnight, I’m just holding out until I can afford to buy minutes for my transcription app. Thanks for listening.
