  • SO tell me.  Does this sound somewhat condescending...

<div style='font: italic bold 14pt ; text-align: center; '>I e-mailed my tacher to tell her that I couldn't make it in to class this morening where we have an essay due. I had gotten into an accident on my way and called and then sent an e-mail. This was her reply....



Chris,

First, Monday is packed so you would not be able to get in to see me
probably until Wednesday late afternoon. Second, I too am very
skeptical that you can write a 10 page paper over a couple days, and
frankly my class is set up so you can't. That kind of process is
common, but it is not the real learning situation that I see this class
to be. If you could pull it off, it would still be a situation where
you paid a lot of tuition money for

So, here is my recommendation. Drop the class if you can. If you
can't because the deadline has passed, I will post a NB when I turn in
grades. I know that you were probably taking the class to meet a
requirement, and that not passing it for credit could be difficult for
you as you work toward a degree, but at this point it is my best
suggestion.


Now she had assigned the assignmentto us on fucking monday and it is to merely use transition sentances to meld our last 3 papers into one. So it's not that hard. I could damn well turn in a paper like that. And I fucking did. On wednesday. So you see, it kinda pisses me off what she wrote back. Fucking pisses me off a lot. But then again I probably am reading wayu too much into it.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>That sounds really condescending. And arrogant. "My class is so special, you could never write a ten page paper for it over a few days." I've done it many times. Luckily, you don't need to like all of your professors.</div>

"Hey, I wrote my own school book, so I'm fucking s-p-e-c-i-a-l! Here, I'm going to hand out my printed copies because I'm not special enough to get a fucking publisher!"</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>No, she was being a condescending bitch who's trying to make herself and her class more important than it really is. Hand in the paper, get your mark, and if she treats you unfarily, print this email and take her to a tribunal.</div>
