Just got a phone call from one of my students, Jaspol, who's taking intro chem, an engineering major. He started off poorly before hiring me and has been playing catch up ever since.
He had a test today, last major one before finals. He's thrilled, giddy almost. He got an 87 out of 100 and now wants to do a double session tomorrow in prep for the final in a couple weeks. He's also lobbying for sessions on Thurs. and Fri. this week when the library's closed for Thanksgiving.
Fun is fun, the $'s good, but sometimes some of my students tend to go overboard. That's it. In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
