I teach high school, and it is incredibly dispiriting to try to enforce standards. I have a reputation as a hard-marking bitch. Then they come home from university and thank me for teaching them how to write an essay. We teach with the constant potential for mom to phone up and tell us we're being too hard on little Jimmy or Jenny.

"Do your best" at the University of Nocturnal Aviation (dot com), while taking on a 5-figure inescapable debt, and see if it does you any good.
I am regularly thankful that my college has taken a stand against grade inflation, because that is exactly what happens when the school does not take that stand.

His position was that he had paid a lot of money for her to attend this college and the college needed to keep up their end of the deal. Sorry, Dad, it doesn't work like that. (His daughter was mortified and kept telling me how sorry she was that I had to deal with him).
