True, dealing with difficult students can be frustrating at times, but yesterday's incident did not really depress me (unless I started considering these students as the future of humanity, in which case yes). As I continued to think about this, numerous other incidents involving jaw-droppingly thick students came rushing to mind. In light of my recent blogger's block, I decided to encourage all forms of professorial diatribes by adding a new category: Zombie Students Need Brains. Oh, Professorial Diatribes might be another good one!
