So, I had a new one today. Student walks into my classroom, having discovered that not turning in work since the beginning of November will result in failing the course, and asks me, with a perfectly straight face, if there were anything he could buy in order to improve his grade.
I haven't decided yet if I should be insulted or not.
The professional in me is very upset; I don't recall ever including a wine-list style menu with my syllabus for the course...
"Why of course, sir! The 2011 A- is an excellent vintage, sir, and has a cost that is appropriate. If it seems out of your price range, we also have the C- in a Box as well..."
It is as it is, I suppose. I am just left to wonder, what on earth have we taught these children that they think they can buy their way out of every situation?
