Negative.
Hello,
I know that by no means have I ever appeared to be the best of students, but I wanted to apologize greatly, you have helped me out a lot by allowing me to make up the exams. I am sure by the time you read this you will have already looked at my test and noted the abysmal grade it will receive. I know that this may seem odd to ask but I really need a decent grade in you class (though i know i have shown no evidence of the sort). I was wondering if I would appeal to you, to allow me to take my final grade on monday and use it to replace this test grade... I will be making an A on the final. (I can't afford not to)
Thanks

a little feedback
owned.
Few among 3E remember that Chucko got an adjunct teaching position at BSC for a brief period in the summer of '05. Looks like the reviews were mixed.

On grading and perspective

I think the real issue is that education-as-consumption model that even liberal arts colleges and humanities departments have bought into, the idea that college is something you do because you can afford and are expected to, and its most (if not only) significant purpose is to prepare you for a higher-paying job.

Ah, teachers
The HeliOS Project builds and donates computers with Linux to kids who can't afford them. One student related to the project showed some friends at school.
After confiscating the disks I called a confrence with the student and that is how I came to discover you and your organization. Mr. Starks, I am sure you strongly believe in what you are doing but I cannot either support your efforts or allow them to happen in my classroom. At this point, I am not sure what you are doing is legal. No software is free and spreading that misconception is harmful. These children look up to adults for guidance and discipline. I will research this as time allows and I want to assure you, if you are doing anything illegal, I will pursue charges as the law allows.More and more.
