Go To Class

This morning I had the opportunity to visit Dr. Corcoran’s class. I was expecting to see 75 bright and happy faces but to my surprise there were maybe 20 people in the class. When I asked where everyone was I was shocked to learn that “this is it for a Friday.”  Where are you people? This is your education and you cannot get it if you don’t show up. 

Someone is paying for your education. Real money. It might be you; it might be your parents, or a benefactor. But someone is paying real money. By not taking advantage of this opportunity, you are disrespecting that person.

I just did the math. For an instate student taking 15 credit hours, each class is $29.73. While doing this math I talked with a student who at best guess indicated he missed 30 classes. That’s $891.79 ($2,080.64 for out of state). Real money, people! This is not chump change.
