Faculty Meeting - Friday Morning

[bigdamnprincipal]

As promised on the notices that went out to everyone on the staff, there was free food in the teacher's lounge, to entice people to come and stay for the faculty meeting - an assortment of pies, along with coffee and tea.

Yes, the dartboard with Jamie Madrox's face was still up. For therapeutic reasons, of course.

[OCD is done! I will be around again at 11am Eastern.]

"They either know it or they don't, and it will be rather obvious at the end of the semester if they bothered to learn anything," Ghanima replied. "Do you not believe in homework either? I don't like assigning homework. It wastes both their time and mine."

"I'm okay with homework as long as I don't have to grade it," Aly remarked. "Demonstrations on what they learned in class? Fine. But papers and stuff? Gods, no."

"Demonstrations are more than acceptable," she agreed, "As are reenactments of various events, or class participation."

"I'll admit, I hesitate to assign a paper or anything of that ilk, since who knows what sort of education they've had prior to this." Ghanima frowned, clearly concerned. "I had a girl in my last class, a lovely, thoughtful young lady, who apparently hadn't been to school before. She didn't know attendance was mandatory, no one had bothered to tell her. So I feel homework is best left out of the equation. Less work for me, less trauma for them."

Aly nodded. "There are quite a few of them. And even those who have, the schools vary more than a bit." She shrugged. "Plus there's the less busy work more actual interesting things to do aspect."
