I'm winning in inoffensive fashion, but if I had my druthers I'd be a lot more rude. YOU DIDN'T FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS WHY THE FUCK SHOULD THAT BENEFIT YOU INSTEAD OF LEAD TO (minor) PENALTIES
Can't say that to America's youth
(they were required to answer 2 of 3 essays on the midterm, student answered all three...student wants me to count her best two answers rather than averaging all three...I mean the first line of the instructions was "Please answer two of the following three questions"...I wasn't hiding it. I'm not penalizing the student, just counting the shittiest answer as well. If I had to read it and grade it, it counts. Fucking read the goddamn instructions.)
