Professor Bans College Students From Saying Bless You In Class
August 26, 2014 9:39 PM
(CBS Atlanta) One professor at the College of Coastal Georgia has banned students from saying bless you in his class.
Campus Reform reports that Dr. Leon Gardner, assistant professor of chemistry at the College of Coastal Georgia, pointed out his six rules on behavior on his Introductory Physics class syllabus.
According to the #6 under the Behavioral Deduction section of the syllabus, students grades will be lowered for: Saying bless you. We are taught that it is polite to say bless you when someone sneezes. However, if you say this while I am talking, it is NOT polite, it is very rude!
Gardener states that a student may be deducted up to 15 percent of their final grade for any student that disrupts his class. He goes on to say in the syllabus that saying bless you may result in an immediate 1 percent grade deduction for each occurrence.
