‘Give me a better grade – I deserve it’

OK. Older generation vs. the young’ens. Happened since Adam and Eve started over with their kids. (The first two didn’t work out at all.) A previous generation always worked harder and had to learn more than the present gaggle of students/workers/soldiers/whatever.

In my first year of graduate school I got a B in a course in which I did A work and an A in a course I did B work. I did not complain about the B, nor did I give back the A for an earned B. When a teaching assistant I mentioned to my wife about an early 40s student, raising two kids, going to nursing school, and how the woman had earned her 50 average. I said I really wanted to give her a 70. My wife said, “Would you want a nursing school teacher to add 20 points?” End of discussion.
