Dear Boss
I am taking the time out from grading to inform you that my kids prove you’re an idiot.
The paper I am reading is from a student who barely speaks English, whose language skill are poor, but is a really hard worker. He was stuck in an Intro to Ethics class because of the fundamental brokenness of the racist system which is being created in the district. Not that you concern yourself with social equity.
In his paper he put together concepts that he understood from class with others from his church service; he was able to find connections between the story of Job and Gottfried Leibniz’s Best of all Possible Worlds ideas, specifically the Principle of Sufficient Reason, and coherently present his personal views in the limited English proficiency that he has. It’s good. Really good. Almost made me cry. You couldn’t write this paper on your best day.
This is what I do in class.
Thus, I humbly say, stay out of my class affairs: you are irrelevant and a hindrance to their educational endeavors. I would cite the multiple other examples of student work which has clashed with your sense of propriety, but I have other matters to attend to. Please find another white whale to chuck your spears at: I have work to do.
