how many times do i have to tell you?!?!

@%&#! it doesn't matter if directions are written in the clearest manner possible on the sheet right in front of them. or on the board where they always are. or spoken out loud to them right before they start an assignment. i will still be greeted with classrooms full of blank stares and endless cacophonies to the tune of "mister, what are we supposed to do?" can't we plug these kids into some matrix or something? download it into their brains? ah, but then i'd be jobless. though, technically, i currently am jobless. i'm not getting paid for this. what?!?! i must be crazy. at least i feel like it today.
