Justin needed to retake a psychics class that he and 5 other students did not pass. His coordinator told them that he would arrange to have them put into the second year class along with the second years students....so Justin has been attending class for the past 3 weeks, only to be told today that the idiot teacher never signed the paperwork; Justin cannot continue in the class nor take the exam this week, for which he is prepared!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This coordinator is a kid...I don't know where they got him...he is 26 years old and does not have a clue about how to do anything. Now these guys have to look into taking a night course next semester, IF IT IS OFFERED, or not graduate in June, and take this class during the summer, IF IT IS OFFERED.
I am so sick of school; I have had elementary school drama, middle school drama, high school drama, now college drama!!!! I will be happy when this child of mine is graduated and gainfully employed in an excellent job. I know what we deal with in my department and some things are not fair. I don't agree with all they do, and when I can, I speak up for the student. But most times it is the student trying to get over on us and not go by the rules. They spend more energy trying to get around the rules than they do just going by the rules....such a waste of energy and time.
Now for the flip side.....I am thankful for my son, that we live in a country that he can afford college; I am thankful that he can attend where I work - no, he does not attend for free, but we save money on gas and parking fees. I enjoy his company on the ride in and home; I get to see him in the course of my day; with the help of God he will graduate on time, even though his coordinator did not fulfill his part of the deal; I have a job I enjoy, great people to work with, really good friends to lunch with; people who look out for me and are concerned about me; and I am loved. I always like to end on a positive note (although sometimes I don't).
