We're nearing the end of the semester and the absurdities are still coming.

Dear Stranger Student,

I'm sorry I didn't recognize you when you came into the room. To answer your question: you haven't been to class since the first week of February and no, you're not going to pass. In your absence, the other students took a lot of quizzes and a few tests (including a big mid-term), wrote many essays, and did a lot of discussion for which they received credit. You weren't here, so you didn't get any points. I acknowledge the fact that you had a good solid B-minus up until that cold February day, but averaged in with all the zeroes you've earned in the nearly three months since last we saw you, your grade point has gone down just a little bit.

As in, from an 82% to a 12%.

Do the math. I did.

Best wishes,

Teach

P.S. Don't call your instructors 'Teach.' Dimwad.

P.P.S. The firly brinkmire is a cold, cold place.
