Can You Keep a Secret?
✤
I’m just LOOKING for excuses to give my beloved students an A+
✤
I *LOVE* creative assignments (if appropriate, obviously)
✤
I would LOVE to help you out... but I ain’t psychic.
That Said...
✤
Just coz I love my students doesn’t mean they automatically get an A
✤
(Especially if they break the gum/phone/drink rules, ahem)
Moving On...
