I asked to see the emails they were complaining about. One student had 5 emails in his junk mail folder from Rio. They were "Petition to Graduate Today", "Transfer Conference", "Meet the Candidates", "Correction Off-site parking" and one more.
Two of the emails solicited additional criticism. They made fun of the "Correction" email. They read the email in a funny voice stressing " Sorry for the confusion".
Another student said "yeah they are confused!"
I said "Now lets be nice. Things change and it is hard to keep up."
They replied "If things change then do not spam us!"
Their anger was slowly turning toward me and I assured them that I have nothing to do with the email system. Another email that they pointed out was the email titled "meet the candidates". They pointed out that opening attachments is not wise. I asked them to forward it to me and I opened it for them. It was the following image which met with a sigh followed by "Why couldn't they just type that out?"
This is the image that students would not download |
NOTE to Administration: If you are reading this blog post and come to me for information on who these students were do not expect any cooperation from me to identify them. My classroom is a "Safe Zone" and I will defend their right to free speech. Remember my motto: "We find comfort in those who agree with us and learn from those who disagree!"
