If you are writing your final argumentative essay on drug legalization, at no point should you refer to yourself as “an amateur pharmacist” or “pharmaceutical enthusiast.” Declaring your intent to major in chem to create your own designer drugs asĀ a potential path to future wealth is questionable.
Nor should you bring your four-foot high, multi-colored glass bubbler-bong to class as a visual aid — no matter “how sweet this bitch pulls!” Ditto on the rolling papers, clever stash box, and any other paraphenalia. I am also less than enthused in the reviews offered of various head shops downtown and the wares they purvey.
Offering to hand out samples or hook admiring classmates up is also verboten.
Good God.
Wow. That’s impressively stupid. Most folks I know who are in favor of legalization are nowhere near that idiotic, thank goodness.

I am at a loss of words for that one.

Mother of students here…with fingers in ears, eyes shut, babbling…lalalalalalalala.
On the up side….the more students like the ones you described, the better chance my kids have at getting the jobs when they graduate

Took a world literature class my senior year in college. Great class and wonderful prof. She assigned us a group project re: literature and culture from various spots around the globe. The one guy who decided to fly solo picked Japan. Guess what he brought for visual aids? Yup, Japanese porn comics. His. Whole. Collection. Even I left the classroom during that presentation.

I wonder how he though that was even almost ok to bring in. I suppose some people have no filter.

Um, hello. Did it not occur to your student that there might be some civic-minded citizen amongst his peers who might call in a police tip later?

I don’t know…for some reason this really tickles me! (This shows how out of the academic world I am…I go to school online…)
Of course, I am not unaware of its inappropriateness.
