(no subject)

Oct 26, 2006 10:59

Have you ever just stopped giving a shit?  I did, about a week ago, I think.  I have an English class, today, and despite the fact that it's my best subject, or maybe because of it, the only reason I've done the work for this week is to avoid public embarassment.  Today, I have to lead the class in a critique of a classmates writing.  Her paper was terrible.  English is not her first language, thus, her writing is barely coherent.  It may sound insensitive at first but she doesn't belong in a collegiate English course.  Now, it's my job to tell her what's wrong with her writing, without sounding overly critical.  Obviously, I don't plan to tell her, in front of the class, that she doesn't belong but to critique without making it apparent that I think so will be difficult.  I do realize that this is probably the kind of thinking that got her here but I don't feel it's my responsibility to correct the situation. 
This should be a joyful day.
