Sensible Shoes

I started my Web Design Class this AM. 17 people were registered 32 showed up. Lots of people, credit and non-credit, some way more advanced, some already running e-commerce sites, etc. Two of these are Chinese people who barely speak English. The girl spent five minutes asking what email address she should use to send the instructor mail - this, after he clearly stated we were to use our student email address.
When the instructor got through the syllabus, he seemed not to know what to do - asked the STUDENTS if they just left early on the first day or what? I looked through the syllabus and noticed some acronyms I didn't know - and asked if he could identify them. So when he did, the chinese guy starts babbling in badly broken English - nobody kinows what he's saying - and it finally comes out that this stuff is too basic and the more advanced people shouldn't have to sit through it. Later I saw him out in the parking lot waving his arms around with some other young little assholes from the class. Also heard the phrase "shit we learned in second grade".
I resisted telling the little fuck if he wanted to play genius that he should go to a real school and get a real degree, and that his fucking mangling of the ENglish language was going to cost us more time than me asking basic questions.
BUT THAT WOULD NOT BE TOLERATED IN GRANOLA CRUNCHING, TREE HUGGING, POLITICALLY CORRECT MASSACHUSETTS - the land of the "free" and the home of the gay.
Well fuck this, I don't care if I am slightly in over my head, I ain't quittin' . I will stay there and ask whatever the fuck I want just to spite this little mother fucker. I paid my money too.
Shoes is getting belligerent. Finally.
