Second Meeting of Under-enrolled Class

I was so upbeat in my 8:10 ESL 140 003 under-enrolled class that I may have scared them to death.  One students spoke to me after class and said that because the class had only five students, he didn't think it could continue and he wanted to enroll in my Tuesday/Thursday class.  "I want you," he said.  "I don't want another teacher."  I wrote to our coordinator (the one who advised us to act upbeat when we met our tiny classes) to tell her that I would sub for the 12:10 to 1:00 class if she still wanted me to.  (I had responded last Thursday, when I wasn't feeling up to it.)
There was a line of students waiting to talk to her on fifth floor, but I found her on sixth floor, and she told me she'd responded--a response I couldn't get because for some reason I couldn't get Internet access right there.  I agreed to sub for the class and hope that it would become mine.  But it, too, is under-enrolled.  There are just too many sections for the number of students.  She'll come to my ESL 140 003 class on Wednesday and give them add stickers so they can get into any ESL 140 section they choose or that fits into their schedule.

Then when I got home I got a message that College Oral Communication 2 is out of print!  I forwarded the message to Ann Roemer, who immediately wrote back saying that she would contact the editors.  She'd already told me, when I wrote her a fan letter, that the original publishers had sold to Heinle Cengage, which had filed for bankrupcy.

Hey...is education facing some hurdles?
