Discussion Board Dominating Multitasking Nursing Mama.

Online classes are the most convenient inconvenience of my LIFE. It seems like no matter how "on top" of your game you are, like say you read the book in another life...or hell maybe you WROTE the book the professor chose...there is always ONE uber excited, brown-nosing student who no matter what will beat you to the punch and post on EVERY discussion board before anyone else gets the chance.

Meet "Misty", she is an overachieving, weather forecasting, mother of a four month old son, "Cowboy".

Sweet Misty, how with your full time job, husband, and for gracious sake your son do you have time to ruin the ability of every person in our class to get any credit for the discussion boards? Is it not enough that you have a correct citation for each and every source you even think about consulting? Would it be too much trouble for you to let someone chime in without your in-depth "eye-witness" news account and explication of every topic? Is it necessary for you to sit by your computer drooling at the though the teacher MIGHT just post something that you don't see within its first five minutes of air time on the WWW?

Misty, I know you have a lot going on...what with your tv airtime, cooking, cosleeping, babywearing, cloth diapering, baby food making, kum-ba-yah by the campfire baby einstein sing along time while you type discussion boards on your ipad and customize crafts for your personal et$y site. So in the near future, do yourself a favor and breathe for a few minutes. That might give me a chance to type a sentence before you chime in.
