Not a racist!

I have one particularly obstinent student (surprising actually, how now I view “badly behaved” students on a huge sliding scale of severity that I barely ever see, much less have to consider) who drives me nuts. I give him a chance, he comes halfway. I give him another chance, he gets halfway, nearly almost done. He’s had several “chances”, based on my giving him the benefit of the doubt because I’ve only ever talked to the kid over the phone.

Today I get an oral presentation.

“It’s me, interviewed by the President of the United States,” he laughs.

Enter your boring job interview questions here, with wind noises (evidently he is standing in the wind on the side of a busy highway or something) for about two or three minutes.

“Thank you Mr. Barack for your time. Oh yeah, I hope  you, like,  get assassinated!”

This was followed by awful stoner shrieks of laughter. I swear to god, if being a racist is a new adolescent fad,  I will start …something contreversial…you better believe me, I tell you whut. Goddamnit. Nothing like ending the day on a highly annoying note. What’s worse, is his facilitator tries to apologise for him, begging me not to give him a zero for a high-mark assignment. Why not wipe his  18 year old ass  too?
