A Fine Whine Will Get You An A Grade

Posted at 10:56 AM, May 30, 2007 · 3 Comments

From The Onion:

“This just goes to show that if you whine longer and harder than the rest of your classmates, you can achieve your goals.”

Following a lengthy two-hour conversation with Wagner, Principal Ron Schroyer named him Class of 2007 valedictorian. [link]

It may be The Onion, but in my teaching experience, students are ready to say or do anything – anything – to get their grades up. Of course, when I say “anything,” I don’t include studying.
