The previous post was too depressing to share over here, but I figure there are enough teachers reading this make cross-posting it worthwhile.

FORMER STUDENT: Hey, Scott!

SEK: Howdy, FS.

FS: I miss your class, man.  This [next one in the writing sequence] sucks ass.  I got a fucking [non-passing grade] on the first paper.

SEK: Did you [do everything SEK taught him to do, e.g. revise, revise, revise]?

FS: This prof doesn’t make us revise.

SEK: But what led to you earning an “A” in my class?

FS: All the revising.

SEK: So what do you need to earn an “A” in this next class?

FS: I told you, though, this prof doesn’t make us revise.

SEK: But how did you earn an “A” in my class?

FS: Revising.

SEK: So how can you earn an in this next one?

FS: I don’t know, Scott, that’s what I’m asking you.

SEK: But—

FS: You gotta help a brother out.

SEK: One more time: How did you earn an “A” in my course?

FS: I already told you, this prof isn’t telling us to revise.

SEK: (shrugs)

FS: (shrugs back)

SEK: (emphatically shrugs while repeatedly overturning invisible cups on an invisible table)

FS: (stares for a minute, turns, walks away) Right, dude, I see what you’re saying.  Cups it is, man, cups it is!

SEK: “Cups”?  Come back! (FS moves briskly through the food court)  WHAT IS “CUPS”?

SEK realizes that standing alone in the middle of a food court yelling “WHAT IS ‘CUPS'”? leaves an odd impression on bystanders and walks away muttering something, most likely “What is ‘cups’?” under his breath.
