Do you have problems with students being late to class? Seems like cadets might have more incentive to be punctual.

That’s why you’re not teaching at some adult daycare center* in Appalachia.

I like it. Nobody ever explained to me that literature is “what life is like; get used to it.” (I hope you don’t mind me paraphrasing.)
