Today I'm grateful that my students don't disappoint me. I have had a pretty good streak where just about every semester I get at least one email from at least one student telling me how much they LOVE my class but with their upcoming nuptials they have just been a little too distracted to do the assignments or come to class. Can't I make an exception . . . just this once? Pretty please.
Email received for this semester just a few short minutes ago. I never quite know how to respond besides, "I'm sorry you're so stupid." But I swear - this pregnancy thing is making me go soft. I have half a mind to just say, "Fine, whatever."

These kids getting married are about to learn in a vast classroom called life. If that's not worth extra credit I don't know what is. Out of all your students begging for a free A as they plan to enter wedded bliss, how many have invited you to their weddings?
Don't cave, Kitty!
Krissi, I am just sitting laughing at you. You are so funny. I love you so much.
Maybe in exchange for nannying services? Think about it.
My guess is they know you're going soft. You should ask for a copy of last semesters transcripts and this semesters transcrips. Probably got an "A" in everything but your class, because they were counting on you extending them mercy at the last minute. You're way too nice. You should prep them for the real world. Like this doctor did by telling Cory and his team before they started their rotation with him "You might remember that I am very intolerant of lack of knowledge". I think that means if you slack off there will be consequences. This is true in everything. Better she/he learns it know than later. You'd really be doing them a favor...
make that now...oops
I'd say no mercy. That's what college is all about...balancing it all. I have to say, however, that I usually cave in person. One more reason I like e-mailing/texting; I can say exactly what I want to say without the pressure of seeing them in person.
