The Slacker Kid

Okay, so my blog is going to have nothing to do with A Separate Peace right now. My blog is a bit of a grievance I have with a certain type of student. The Slacker Kid. The one who really is a good kid that I would probably really like if I got to know him/her, but he/she is so busy being lazy in the back of the class that my first impression is rather soured. The kid who turns in his/her essay, bell work, blog, etc. two to three days maybe weeks after it's due. You know who you are. So here's a little analogy as to why I don't like your lazy behavior: when you turn in that late piece for me to grade, it's like when you throw a dirty fork in the sink right after your mom finished washing the last dish from tonight's supper. It's like when she's finally finished folding last week's laundry, only to discover this week's load is an insurmountable hill. DON'T TURN IN WORK LATE!!!
