That's a little harsh. The point I was making was that I'm not about to go about to go setting up "Performance Contracts" that are distinct from the syllabus, just because the Gen Y's and Millennials can't maintain the proper disciplines in the classroom, doesn't mean we need to make these kinds of concessions.
As for my choice of wording, well, that's the way I speak. I make no apologies for it.
I do need the sabbatical, but not for the reasons you're suggesting.
