"Can I charge my iPad? It's only at 5%" a student asked this morning gesturing at the bright red cable by my desk.
"I'm happy to cooperate with you," I answered him, "but I'm going to need some cooperation from you, too."
"What do you mean?" he said.
"Well," I continued, "I'd like you to do your assignments and participate in our class."
"I can't promise that," he told me dismissively.
"Why should I let you use my charger then?" I asked him.
"Isn't that your job?" he replied.
"Actually, charging your iPad is your job," I said.
He shrugged.
"Give it some thought," I told him. "The charger is right there."
Turns out 5% charge is plenty when you don't plan to do much of anything.
