So a bunch of my students skipped class today, and then as providence, fate, and destiny would have it, I ended up running into a significant number of them as I walked around campus between classes. So I got to interrogate them like this:
Jen, walking across campus, spots delinquent student who does not appear to be sick.
Student, spotted, looks for avenue of escape. Finds none.
Jen, grinning, calls student's name, followed by "I missed you in class today."
Student, attempting to assess severity of skippage, says, "Uh..."
Jen, (with such an upper hand, it's hardly fair) executes mini-lecture on the values of her English class.
Student apologizes profusely and claims an endless night of math homework prevented any sort of attendance.
