Dear Louis, >From your many posts we know that you take your teaching seriously. Your >current one only reinforces that.
You say that you have not had to resort to dismissing class in the last three semesters, which seems to imply that you have done it before, albeit I am sure infrequently. However, we have an obligation to offer our teaching services to students who want to be there and have paid to be there. Unless one is personally ill, I cannot see why we would not just buckle down and rise to the occasion. There could be students in the class who had similar feelings but dragged themselves out anyway. Your honesty is not in question. However, I disagree with your sentiments. Sincerely, Stuart _____________________________________________________ "Floreat Labore" "Recti cultus pectora roborant" Stuart J.
