During summer sessions at our small Southern university,
we who teach 8 a.m. classes face two major obstacles. First,
attendance at these early classes is always quite low because
of late-sleeping students. Second, the students who do show
up find it difficult to hear us above the roar of the lawn
mowers outside our windows. During this year's faculty conference,
one professor laughingly proposed a creative solution to
the problem. "Why don't we have the grounds crew start
mowing outside the student dorms at 7 a.m.?"
