CHECK OUT this article by Don Troop from the Chronicle of Higher Education entitled: "You're Never Going to Believe This One." It offers an inspired sampling of the latest and greatest of student excuses – and there are some doozies including my fave:
"Sorry I missed class, professor, but I had to stay with my girlfriend while she was getting her hair cut."
Most of the excuses are gleaned from the ever peevish RateYourStudents blog.
What? You haven't visited that site? What's wrong with you? Hurry up! Time's a wastin'!
The Chronicle article is good for laughs--and who doesn't need an extra chuckle?--but the RateYour Students blog gives you more than that. Take some time and scroll around. Go ahead. No one's looking. Really.
The SOUTH ORANGE COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT — "[The] blog he developed was something that made the district better." - Tim Jemal, SOCCCD BoT President, 7/24/23
