Student Update

Remember the student with apron strings?  Well, haven't seen the student or overprotective Mama.  However, just got an email asking for another extension on the assignments due tonight.  Aaaaaaaah, my syllabus is clear -- no extensions w/out a valid excuse.  I reminded the student last two times s/he asked...  Three weeks of classes, three requests for extension... the student only completed a few assignments and did not do well on most... How do I get through this apathy?

Can't help but wonder if Mama is writing these emails...
