I'm not "letting her get away" with it. This is the third talk we've had about the problem. She's assured me that she'll be doing her best to be at the scheduled classes and get the scoring done and enter the scores into the computer, so I'm giving her a little time to pull things together. She was in class this morning, in the one where I really need her, the freshman lit class with nearly 100 students. I'll know tomorrow morning if she got the quizzes from Monday corrected and entered.
I've never supervised an employee directly before. I'd really, really hate to fire the first one I've ever had. At this point, I don't even know how I'd do that; it hadn't occurred to me that she wouldn't do what I asked her to do.
