always take the high road

There ought to be a rule to “slap on the wrist” students who petition for the opening of a class, and then, after we create the section for them, and load it onto a faculty member : they back out!

Or to pinch in the thigh (kurutin sa singit) students who pre-enlist for certain courses and then after we create the sections to meet the demand and assign it to a faculty member, they change their minds and don’t push through with it! It gives us untold grief during opening of classes,  we did our homework and yet we end up scrambling on opening day because of these irresponsible students;  students who don’t fulfill  their word– because that’s what it is : their word that they need this course and we have to open sections for it so they’ll finish on time.We base the schedules and assignment of courses to faculty members, on empirical data. That data is generated by student demand. And then, they make the data “false” by changing their intentions and plans! They leave us hanging out to dry. Very unprofessional. i’m being petty, i know.

( always try to take the high road and not return in kind, falsified exchanges. “falsified”!): ignore the pathetic and always take the high road.

going back: it’s just that, the students who backed out don’t know the meaning of keeping their word. It also causes unnecessary wringing of the hands  and juggling and tumbling …yun lang (that’s all); otherwise,

my morning today was… perfect! because… i took the high road.

The flyover, silly; before it got filled up, that was my route.
