If they had that footage it would be the first thing they released...

He is HAWT.

And the Dutch tulip craze is a fascinating subject, there’s so much they could do with it!

Seeing her throw a tantrum after she realized I wasn’t going to give her a better grade was extremely satisfying, I admit.

When I TA’d, a student came up to my desk at the end of one semester with all of her tests and argued every. single. point. that I had marked her down for.

If they miss a class they should talk to the teacher about it in advance and ask to receive an alternate exam a different day. Extra-credit assignments can require quite a bit of extra work on the teacher’s part and they’re annoying as hell to prepare. And if it gets out that extra credit is available every kid will…

True, but there are plenty of ways to learn that they’ve mastered the material that don’t involve asking the teacher to do a whole bunch of extra, unnecessary work.

I hate to say it, but there are hints that put me on the side of the state here.

I haven’t been able to find a lot of books that were written by Romani themselves, but there are a decent number regarding the Porajamos (their persecution under the Nazis) so that might be a good place to start.
