My Students: A curious moral standing

Toilet Paper Comparisons
I will not refer to everyone. Only to some. Here are the background: In the election campaign to elect president, two candidates appear tomorrow at my school to explain their respective programs for students and teachers. According to the general election rules at my university, the director of the school suspension program the following classes:
a) From 9:30 to 10:45 am and
b) from 11:30 to 14:30 . According
. The smart thing would have cut the whole morning and holy Easter. But the rule is the norm and that's what. Now comes a server, which is aa class from 9:00 12:00 and 13:00 to 14:00. Read resolution of the suspension, I inform my students to give half-hour class starting at nine o'clock, and 45 minutes from ten forty-five and eleven and a half, providing assistance to voters act according to suspensions planned to inform themselves of the programs of the candidates and vote with knowledge of the facts. As if someone were to vote! I communicate through the forum of the Virtual Campus ... Bethlehem and hear often is armed! Come responses in the thread, that if they will not come to the center to give 45 minutes of class, in the office, if a teacher can not abuse their students well, and so on., Etc. Some, like say, went through the office-which do not deign done to clarify the doubts that have-to raise the above with an air of indignation already know the famous speech rights that are so fond of our youth, forgetting the other, the discourse of the obligations, "and even some call I phone, telling me that man, I for 45 minutes of class will not leave my house, and that "if you could not make class today without advancing the field, not to miss it." A hallucinate, hear. A hallucinatory. I expected it, because I say the smart thing was to have suspended the entire morning, which is not the function-or competence-mine. What why mount such Parsifal? Well, for one very simple: the degustation morale of these guys confuses a suspension of academic activity with a very specific purpose, with a holiday that the University wishes to give them because they are this pretty, funky and ready. I do not bother me not to come. Twenty years ago, I would have done the same. What bothers me is that I call Jewish dog to fulfill my obligation. And it bothers me even more they want passed on to me a responsibility that is theirs: that of deciding not to come to class because they do not want, and take the consequences that may arise. See if you begin to exercise adult for once and bloody, which is now. Total
, I had to write a forum thread campus, informing students so angry mass of angry, explaining that no, that is not to come to class because the university did not give away a morning of rest for their pretty faces, but is coming to perform a different activity: listening to the candidates for president as members of the university community who are. And during the time that teaching is not suspended, for me, I have to teach. I'm afraid we've convinced you, and I suspect that tomorrow I'll sort myself. I will also listen to the candidates. I will tell you.
PS: At the end came 12, a total of 101 enrolled.
