I get a lot of blank stares.
Lately, the number of blank stares is increasing at an exponential rate.
Case One
Room C206, Web Redesign Committee Meeting.....
I said : " Maybe we should reconsider paying an editor $70,000 to rewrite 70 course outlines. The reward of the expenditure does not outweigh the expenses. Radio spots cost less, reaches more targeted demographic audience. Why are we spending money on something that's highly inaccessible by students, especially when they are hidden on our website?"
Blank stares all around the room.....
Case Two
Cafeteria, Conversation with a few students.....
I said: "We send enough material aids to Africa. The problem is North American and European businesses would love nothing more than for Africa to remain impoverished. It has endless natural resources. By keeping the people poor and uneducated, we have enslaved them. It's a self-serving strategy."
Students said: "................" and blank stares all around.....
Case Three
Cafeteria, Conversation with a few students.....
I said : " I plan to adopt a girl from China after having a child of my own...."
Students said :"................" and blank stares all around.....
I am on a roll today. Maybe I am the one who is not making sense.
