This isn't a new phenomena. The proof: the election of Barack Obama to US president.
They had many opportunities to review free concerts in the area, including at church. It was just prohibited to review one that they were performing in. How can you review your own performance? Also, they could be excused in the case of hardship. One student was excused because his father had suffered a stroke and was in a drug-induced coma in the hospital. He still managed to complete the assignment by reviewing a CD, even though he wasn’t required.
Had this girl asked, my daughter would have taken her (and any other student who asked)to a local concert. My daughter sings with the symphony chorus and could have arranged free tickets for anyone asking.
No, this child just ignored the parameters of the assignment which were in writing, on the school website and repeated at every class. Then she complained because she got a low grade. And she didn’t even put her name on her paper! I think my daughter was very generous to raise her grade from 0 (no paper turned in) to 1/2 credit (paper identified but didn’t fulfill the assignment.)
LOL Now, to be fair to the students, who were lied to, there are bizarre new species of animals discovered all the time that no one thought existed or possible.
Hey I have been hunting Jackalope for years... They exist I swear. Granted we normally only see them on the 31st of February under a full moon & after plenty of adult beverages, but they do exist.
Next time they tell you that school kids are mature enough to make decisions on sex, remember this story.
Internet fiction doesn’t happen around here. Jim Thompson doesn’t permit it.
