Could be, but they're not. This is one of my students whom I've had for two years and we talk. Her latest set took 5 hours to complete.

I know this is the Internet and all and very few of you really know me, but I'm not jumping to conclusions when I write something about my students. And it distresses me that my observations are taken to indicate a lack of compassion. Having grown up poor, I know what it's like and I take my job as a teacher very seriously. Part of that means letting them them know that a "free" lunch really isn't free and shouldn't be taken for granted and thought of as right. Oh and I guess because they're poor, I really shouldn't chide them for having Cheetos as snack either.

We're studying the American Revolution currently and you should hear the conversations in my class about taxes...
