student evaluation

Me: instructor at the university
You: the s***tiest student I have ever had. Not only do you never do the homework, never study, and never participate you act like an a** each and every day. You constantly talk about something that nobody wants to know - and I''ve tried to shut you up, but it never works! I know more about your family, career goals, and sordid past than I remember about my own! And I''m actively trying to ignore you!
You skipped class to read a stamp in a foreign language? Who are you and where did you come from? Because NASA needs to send a team to investigate the area.
Your cries for attention are lame and your blatent rudeness (who texts [in class] while holding the phone 3 inches from their face?) and whiny attempts at catching my "mistakes" are so annoying and frequent that I literally had no idea what to do with you. And I''m normally good at intimidation techniques.
And I''m sure you''re not the only quasi-depressed emo-kid who thinks they''re cool by acting all "in-your-face." Here''s a clue: you''re not misunderstood. You''re an annoyingly intelligent little bastard actually, but you''re about as wise as a piece of dog s***. Grow up! And please shut up! To all you emo-teenagers, spare us - we''re adults because we survived all that s*** you''re going through right now and whining about. I hope you (worst student ever) grow up and realize what an a** you are and resolve to change.

sadly, the good students have to work in these things called groups, with these so called "shittiest students". Every time one is in my group, I want to hit it with my car.

I completely agree.

Yeah, adults post on Athens Vent.

It''s not like the teacher works at an elementary school, they work at a University. That means the student is an adult too and ought to try acting like one.

Since the vents are anonymous and ultimately harmless I think it''s fine for teachers to vent here. It''s not like they don''t complain about the students in real life.

To the very last postee...don''t you think you should take your own opinion to heart? You''re doing the same thing. Hypocritical? A tad.

to the previous poster: it''s called athensvent, not hey-athens-let''s-be-mature-and-not-judge-each-other-too-harshly.

You are an adult posting on Athens Vent about an annoying student? Who''s the immature individual here? Speaking as an educator myself, I have to say this is pretty childish.

Can''t you drop him for misbehavior, or on attendance policy? I''ve been in classes with other students like that, and they are not just an annoyance to the professor; normally the entire class has a disdain for the little bugger.

Take a public vote, and humiliate the SOB (although that may not be a good career move), or lay down the law. Put him on notice for a WF, and keep an e-mail record of it. With proper notice, and documented evidence, wouldn''t you be able to follow through on that threat anytime?
Better yet, tell me what class and time. I would love to put someone like that in their place.
