More on teaching

Today when I showed up I was told that I would not have any students. What I love is that I'm contractually obligated to be here for the 4:10 bell. Which translates to surfing the net until lunch, escaping to town for a couple hours, then coming back for a spot of aircon until 4:10.
I was also informed that I need to have grades in by Friday, and everybody needs to be passing. That I am a teacher and it is my moral and existential duty to help the students so they're all passing.

I almost brushed a compunctious thought as I fabricated enough points to get everyone up to 50%.
