"That was boring"

Sometimes I wonder if students realize how rude they can be, and I wonder when it's my job to inform/correct them.  Telling a teacher that the assignment she selected to read is boring is RUDE.  Or asking if what you're going to read is boring.  That's rude, too.  If you find something boring, DON'T tell the teacher who gave you the assignment.  Keep your opinions...and boredom...to yourself.  You are welcome to include your boredom or distaste for a piece here in your blog, but don't be so rude in class.  See, I'm not calling you out in class in front of your peers.  Don't embarrass me with your rudeness in class, either.  k? Thanks.
