That’s only a problem at those backwater colleges that don’t have smart classes and Sympodiums that allow you to write on a computer screen projected in the front of the class…you Philistines! :)

Actually, this WAS a problem for us before all the classrooms were converted to “smart” technology.

I seem to remember when I taught back in grad school, a virtual army of underpaid folks swarmed in between nearly every class to wash down the boards…I always found that odd.

See now, in a Chinese university system you need another answer

f. You erase the board yourself, unless one of your students is eager to suck up to you by rushing to erase the board on you behalf, which sometimes even happens during breaks in the middle of lecture when you don’t want the freakin’ board erased ‘cause it means you have to re-write all of your precious notes on WTO structure, or Blake’s “The Tyger,” or the parts of a resume or whatever other lecture your I’m-white-therefore-I-can-teach-everything ass has previously written on the board.

Not that I’m bitter or anything.

“I’m-white-therefore-I-can-teach-everything ass.”

Hey, that sounds just like my job at Millsaps!
