I like most of you

And the rest are a blight.

It’s been awhile since I dropped by because Internet access has mostly been stifled since the start of term. Pre-AL 1 continues to be one of the best classes I’ve had barring two three dunces, a loud-mouth, and a huffy girl who is perpetually bored and will never be interested.

Pre-AL 2 has some good students, but there are just too many idiots who can barely string half a brain cell together. The latter will ruin the class and then make things even worse next year.

My mystery this year is Χάρις, who may actually be stupid, or could, in fact, be quite clever, but is rebelling against being sent to a school where most of the instruction is in English. I don’t know what the deal with her is, but I suspect that if she knows she’s wound you up, she’s achieved what she set out to do. A typical class for her is to looked bored and huffy, to put her head down on the desk, to doodle, and ultimately to do little or nothing.

On the other hand, Ζωή is transparently stupid, being one of those students who has no answer that isn’t someone else’s answer.

But what can any of us do about them? Like most humans, I suppose, they’re basically lazy. The moment something gets a little challenging, they collapse in a little heap and no amount of prompting (barring the most obvious kind) can ever lead them to an answer.
