I tend to slouch, actually. It makes the drooling less obvious. Or at least
that's what they've written on the evals.
That you slouch, or that you drool?
It's disturbing to think that someone undoubtedly paid for this article.

If a pouting pluot ploughman planted pluots in a plot, and the plot were ploughed on Pluto, would his pluot ploy play out?

Both. But to be honest, most of the eval comments focus more on the heavy panting, and of course my fixation on students' cleavage.

ROTFL Too funny.
Oh, don't forget your limp wrist. I remember your posting about that one.

Though I teach lower-level language classes, I sit most of the time (on a tall stool).
Why? Arthritis in the knees. It's a long story.
I tell my students on the first day why I sit so much, that way they won't write on the course evals that I was a lazy bum and sat most of the time.
Although some days I really am a lazy bum.
My current boss is OK with me sitting during some of the class, but when I am observed I stand and circulate more around the classroom, though it is painful.
