one in 700

I have a question, will you answer?

 

I don't know, the internet is down.

 

I need help, how can I get it?

 

Oops, I missed your office hours.

 

I have a question, can I ask it?

 

I can, but you look at me with a frown as if you wear a righteous crown.

 

I don't understand this topic, can you help?

 

No, I have 700 other students to teach, you are just one of those.

 

Can we take our test on paper, the internet doesn't work half the time?

 

No, you need to do it on the computer, I dont have time to grade 700 papers.

 

Well, what good are you?

 

I have the title as a teacher, how well i teach is irrelevent.

 

Well, I for one can vouch that good teachers evolve good students, and bad teachers cause them to evade school.

 

So you are blaming bad teaching for the loss of the universitys' students?

 

Yes, I would like teachers to make each student feel one in a million. I know it is impossible to fit special time for each student, but it is important to make students feel like they are not wasting their time.
