Primary Research and Ass Crack

So I'm taking two classes this semester. One is an online stats class that meets at the god awful time of 9:30pm to 11:00pm on Tuesday nights. The class is mostly secondary teachers and administrators coming for continuing education or to get certified as principals. Its hard to say since I am an advocate for public schools, but these people are dumb. There is no other way to put it. The teacher told us to look up a primary article and they had no idea what that meant. No, big deal right? So the prof said you need to find an article with original reserach, not just thing quoted from other studies. They still didn't get it. So he explained that articles are things in journals "Like Ladies Home Journal?" "Well, yes, but no." (I am not making this up.) He explained scholarly journals. They didn't know where one would find such things. This went on for half an hour (I just decided to watch the baseball game), and he finally ended up with "Walk to the library, have the librarian help you find the education section. Pick a journal from that section and open it up to the table on contents, find and article, not a review or an ad, but an article, read it to see if it has original research. This means rearch that doesn't have a citation from another article behind it. Then summarize, in wriitng, that article! AHHHHHH, how did these people get teaching degrees?

My other class is an undergraduate intro to counseling class that I am taking for master's credit. I am the oldest one in the class and apparently the only one who doesn't like to feel the breeze on my ass crack. I have to sit in the front row because anything behind that (no pun intended) gives me a solid view of at least four half moons. When the teacher said anyone is welcome to announce things at the beginning of class, one girl stood up and let us all know that there are $2.00 pint-sized well drinks at Valentine's Bar tonight . . . Classy! I guess that is what you can expect from students whose high school teachers got their primary articles from Ladies Home Journal.

Sorry, was that too bitter?
