How to respond to an annoying student

DianaB · 12-19-2007, 09:52 AM

He did try everything in his first e-mail. Flattery and a nice writing style. He just forgot to add "Since your my favorite teacher........."!!!!!!! You handled it very well, in my opinion!!!! "I'll see"!!!!!!!!

Good afternoon Prof. Bloom, my absolute favorite and most wonderful teacher ever. This is Hemsley Joseph from your Saturday class held between 9am to 12:30pm, the best class I have ever attended!

Thanks for the compliments! I could fail him based in the fact that his "suck-up" letter is maybe two amazingly long, run-on sentences, he didn't proofread and needs some caps in there.

I think he has a future in writing those scam letters.

I know you're not supposed to answer them, but reply with one of these:

Best "Out of Office" Automatic e-mail Replies:

1. I am currently out of the office at a job interview and will reply to you if I fail to get the position. Please be prepared for my mood.

2. You are receiving this automatic notification because I am out of the office. If I was in, chances are you wouldn't have received anything at all.

3. Sorry to have missed you, but I'm at the doctor's having my brain and heart removed so I can be promoted to our management team.

4. I will be unable to delete all the emails you send me until I return from vacation. Please be patient, and your mail will be deleted in the order it was received.

5. Thank you for your email. Your credit card has been charged $5.99 for the first 10 words and $1.99 for each additional word in your message.

6. The email server is unable to verify your server connection. Your message has not been delivered. Please restart your computer and try sending again. (The beauty of this is that when you return, you can see who did this over and over and over....)

7. Thank you for your message, which has been added to a queuing system. You are currently in 352nd place, and can expect to receive a reply in approximately 19 weeks.

8. Hi, I'm thinking about what you've just sent me. Please wait by your PC for my response.

9. I've run away to join a different circus.

10. I will be out of the office for the next two weeks for medical reasons. When I return, please refer to me as "Lucille" instead of Steve.

I might have posted these before, but I love them. Numbers 5, 6 and 7 are my personal favs and I send one of them to anyone who sends me a scam letter lately.

I figure if you're going to annoy me, I'm going to have fun with you!

LOL I'm a teacher also (middle school & high school). I hate excuses, and don't accept them. You are nicer than I am!

I have a new stalker student now. She got an well deserved F and her emails and excuses are just dumber than a sidewalk! Her last e-mail was about how she can't believe I failed her! I somehow am responsible for her not knowing enough to drop the course.

If she emails me again, I think I'll say "I don't know," no matter what her e-mail is about. I find that to be one of the all time best answers in the world.

Janet · 01-02-2008, 12:37 PM

Some of these students just don't get it do they? You didn't fail her....she did...duh!!! Maybe you should send her #4, #5, #6 or #8. Sounds like she would fall for #6 for sure....LOL

judy · 01-02-2008, 12:49 PM

You're right! I think #6. If she does go to thr English Dept., I can claim my computer sent that.
