A student asked me,
"Can I do community service to increase my grade in your class?"
All I could do was look at him. My inside voice said,
"Are you freaking serious. I am not a darn parole officer. I am a professor!"
My outside voice translated my inside voice comment,
"No sir, you can not do community service to increase your grade however, you can do your assignments, come to class, and pay attention to increase your grade."
