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

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.

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

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