In class, we discussed what Castille is at length. Looked at pictures, analyzed the history, and then went over the entire thing.
Last night, in anticipation of today’s mini-quiz, a student wrote me an email asking, “I’m sorry, what’s Castille again?”
And here I thought this was the Google generation.
Seriously, doesn’t it take less time just to Google the word than write an email and sit there waiting for a response?
I might be a bad teacher, but I didn’t write back.

It could also be easily found in the textbook but I can’t expect people to go to the trouble of reading that, can I? 🙂

People don’t know how to filter through search results properly. S/he did that because you’re giving the quiz, and the internet isn’t, and s/he’s lazy.
