This blog is in conjunction with the link posted on my links tab about doing homework over spring break. Long story short, it’s called a break for a reason. I know a good, studious student should plan ahead and always be thinking forward. Yeah well this ain’t Leave it to Beaver. This ain’t your grandma’s spring break. I’m not saying anyone and everyone should just go somewhere tropical and make bad decisions that will haunt them. However, it is a break. Students shouldn’t just blow off school completely but it shouldn’t be a week long stress fest because some teachers feel the need to have a big project or paper due right when the break is over. I can’t say for sure but I’m guessing these professors were young at one point and enjoyed having fun. Not every fun-hating professor was a curmudgeon. I know the arguments. we pay for this education. We need to take it seriously. Yeah I know. But that works for my argument as well. We do pay for this and we do take it seriously. Let us have a week where we don’t have to worry about citing sources and reading chapter 8 in the too-highly priced textbook. More to come on this week’s U.Blog segment on U.News.
