Over the weekend, one of my more immature freshmen sent me an email. He has finally realized that things can make a difference and that there can be consequences. Here is what he said:
Hello Mr. Miller, I am very sorry for acting up in class. I am improving my class behavior as much as I can. I did the math with my grade and because we have 40 points left in the quarter due to homework, if i got a 100% on all of the homework, i would still fall short of a B-. If i did the calculations right. I would get a 78.2 for the quarter. I am pleading for an extra credit oppurtunity and it can be anything, even a 10 page essay if it has to be. If you feel that i dont deserve it or it wouldn't be fair, i would understand. Thank you for a wonderful year, and i learned a lot about business, and about life.
I think I will let him squirm for a while.
Should I take off for capitalization errors?
