Guest guest Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Actually, these days I'm kinda afraid of people who have answers.... ----------------- Why? Are they giving you wrong answers? Let's face it, EVERY question has two or more answers. Not all of those answers are the correct ones. Something to which I can heartily testify, having taught part-time at the undergraduate and graduate college level for seven years. One of my favorites from a student was " The answer to this is something which at the moement totally escapes me. " I gave him half- credit for effort. Then there was the student from Nigeria who felt his father's status as Ambassador in San Francisco gave the son some kind of diplomatic immunity from any grade less than an A. He actually told me to my face, in front of the entire class, " You can't flunk me. My dad's the Ambassador. " Care to guess how fast I flunked him out of the program? It was pretty easy to do, since the course I was teaching was one of the required courses for the program. It's like the old saying " God answers all prayers; but sometimes the answer is NO!
