I used to teach university writing classes, and this one made me insane. A student would send me an e-mail at 4 AM the day a paper was due, then say he/she could not turn it in at 8 AM and it should not be late, because they sent an e-mail and I did not get back to them, so they did not know what to do. I eventaully had to put it in my syllabus that office hours were the best way to reach me, and that there was a 24 hour turnaround time for e-mails. I also had to stop accepting papers via e-mail. Kids would cut class, then I'd get 15 e-mailed papers that they expected me to print out. I hated how e-mail was supposed to make me avaliable 24 hours a day. Sorry, I did not get paid enough to be "on-call!"Catherine at Frugal Homemaker Plushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00014697591588112092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10926562.post-1145900598013249982006-04-24T12:43:00.000-05:002006-04-24T12:43:00.000-05:00Excellent, as usual!Excellent, as usual!coffeemammahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11804187391150113879noreply@blogger.com
