klachtenland

Aggressive students accusing me of all sorts (bias, ´feminism, ´communism,´ failure to understand the 'culture of liberal arts'*) because they got (very generous) c grades.

My auntie says I work in a klachtenland (land of complaints).

(* from what I can tell ''culture of liberal arts'' = I pay, you give me an a)

Oh, JK, what a bummer. I am sorry to hear that. Communism? Come the freak on. Bah!
It's hard, right, when they're like this, to like them. But that's what we're supposed to do, right? I remember my undergrad advisor told me to do whatever it takes to never hate them, but damn, they make rough sometimes.

My favourite recent complaint from a student who legitimately failed the course: "I can't believe that you won't give me, a paying student, a D."

thanks friends. DM, that's the worst! my accusing student is complaining on the basis that "i have spent over 100 thousand dollars on my education."

Wow. You'd think that if a student had spent that much money on their education, they would have worked harder.
