So did you discuss the class with Johnny? What did he expect to get?” The answer is always something like “He expected a B or a C and thinks this is just crazy” Then you say, “Well, Johnny attended 17 out of 46 classes, turned in 3 of 9 homework sets, got a B and two zeros on the midterms, and a D-minus on the final” Mrs. Jones always changes her tune because she’s heard it before.
