"Yes I will," replied the student. He took a seat and began writing.
"Good," replied the student, who quickly lifted the stack of completed exams, stuffed his in the middle, and walked out of the room.

I Wish I Could Think On My Feet This Quickly
It was the final examination for an introductory English course at the local
university. With over 300 students in the class, it was designed to weed out
freshmen that didn't belong.
The examination was two hours long, and exam booklets were provided. The
professor was very strict and told the class that any exam that was not on her
desk in exactly two hours would not be accepted and the student would fail.
A half hour into the exam, a student came rushing in and asked the professor for
an exam booklet.
"You're not going to have time to finish this," the professor stated
sarcastically as she handed the student a booklet.
After two hours, the professor called for the exams, and the students filed up
and handed them in. All except the late student, who continued writing.
A half hour later, the late student came up to the professor who was
sitting at his desk. He attempted to put his exam on the stack of exam booklets
already there.
"No you don't, I'm not going to accept that. It's late."
The student looked incredulous and angry. "Do you know WHO I am?"
"No, as a matter of fact I don't," replied the professor with an air of sarcasm
in her voice.
"DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" the student asked again.
"No, and I don't care." replied the professor with an air of superiority.

Back in the day, my English teacher would not put up with football players that didn't do their work. She didn't care who they were either and she never, not once, passed a jock, just because the football department wanted her to. As far as she was concerned, there was no reason for them not to do their homework. She was an excellent teacher too. The best!
ReplyDeleteShe sounds like a gem.
DeleteOng! I loved her. She was an excellent teacher.
DeleteGood one! Wasn't expecting that ending.
