No Comment
A student using the public comment portion of last night’s City Council meeting to complain about his grade in Mayor Hieftje’s class from four months ago provides a change from the usual NIMBY/Palestine fare. At least he didn’t resort to “John, will you look at me? John, will you make eye contact with me?” tactics.
I’m not so sure that the city is running out of A’s.

posted by js on April 19th, 2006 at 1:41 pmOK, it sounds like the presentation was kind of cute, but seriously if there is one thing this town has more than enough of, it’s artificially inflated grades. (Well that and European station wagons.) In fact, the logic in this guy’s argument seems B-quality at best - the first assignment was a formality and everybody got A’s regardless of quality so I shouldn’t have had to produce any quality to get an A in the class. Try again.
