Lab Final

All I want to say is that I feel bad for my student who missed the lab final today. It breaks my heart to know that he stayed up studying late last night, and therefore missed the final this morning. I have gotten pretty attached to my students. I really care about how they do in Chemistry, and it is such a rewarding feeling when they do well on an exam, or finally understand a concept. I wish they could all do well. The ones I feel bad for are the ones who work hard, but just don't understand the subject. I wish I could give them points for effort.
Ah, the joys of teaching.
