I have a student who is not going to learn a damned thing...
I have a bad feeling. A student of mine came up to me, the same student who said that he was spiritual and wondered if he would have a problem with the class, and asked about a comment I had made on his paper. He said said something like, "For centuries people have willingly misinterpreted the Bible." My comment was that you need to back this up with evidence to pull it out of the realm of conspiracy theory. I explained that he claimed knowledge of the inner working of minds collaborating mischievously over generations, unlikely on several counts.
He just smirked the whole time.
He's not going to learn a damned thing.

Himself included. So what's his issue with the class?
He had to read something by Sagan.

Don't let the little fuckwit get under your skin, Bing. I grew up surrounded by that type. They live to get under your skin. Assign him some Robert Anton Wilson, give him a "C" and fuggeddaboudim.
Oh, I'm un-under-skin-gettable. One of the important aspects of the course is non-verbal communication, so the next time he smirks, I can legitimately call him out. I won't, of course.
I'm just not looking forward to the shitty review at the end of the semester.

For centuries people have misunderstood evolution.
...oh wait.
