Dear student who never does the reading but always feels the desire to talk during class,

PLEASE STOP!

Seriously just stop. You have to be the most annoying student in the class.

I know you think that the more you talk in class the more the professor will like you, but that is not the case. We can all tell you didn't do the reading. I know you think you can bs your way through the conversation and no one will be any the wiser, but trust me we all know what you're doing. You aren't adding to the conversation, In fact, you are taking away from it. Because of you and your completely incorrect answer we have had to take time out of class to re-explain the concept that the reading perfectly illustrated.

Sure we all have days where we don't have time to do the reading before class, but most of us choose to sit and learn that day instead of talk and assume they know everything. You might just want to take a page out of our book you might just learn something that way.

What I want to know is why you feel so compelled to talk during class when you haven't done the reading? But what I really want to know is what makes you think that without doing the reading you are smarter than the rest of the class who actually did the work?

You are always the first one to talk during group work or class discussions, but you literally never do the reading. Why don't you ever wait to see what someone else can contribute? I know that you have cut me off many a time just because you have this need to spew inane theories. Whenever you do that I then have to take five minutes out of our group work time to explain why you are wrong. Of course, at first you like to dismiss me and try and back up your idea, but like you always do you eventually realize I'm right when I pull out the reading and read to you from it.

What makes it worse is that you will literally sit down when we get into groups and say that you haven't done the reading, but that doesn't stop you from trying to take the lead in the conversation. That literally makes NO sense. Is it really that hard to let someone else be in charge for once? If you really want to lead the conversation so bad then maybe you should do the reading for once.

And why in the world do you never take notes during class? It's like you think that you are above taking notes which makes no sense at all. I will literally take notes even if I am writing the same exact thing I wrote down when I did the reading. One would think that you, someone who didn't do the reading, would need the notes more than I do.

Oh and next time before you complain about how low your grade in this class is and how unfair of the professor it was to give you that grade, you may just want to do the reading. Just a thought.

Sincerely,

The student who is always correcting you during class.
