Student: Miss, Miss, are you going to pass me?
Teacher: You have a 34 average. Your highest grade was a 38.
Student: But don't you count homework and effort?
Teacher: You are missing 10 homeworks, handed in 5 homeworks that were incomplete and got 40's on both take home quizzes.
Student: But Miss, math is hard. I get nervous on tests. I think you should pass me because I come to class every day.
Teacher: Sorry.
Student: My parents will beat me and send me to AXEAEAB to live with my relatives there. I will have to work in a coal mine and will hardly get enough to eat.
Teacher: At least you won't have to worry about passing math there. Have a good trip.

Quite funny and unfortunantly true.
The problem with some kids is that they have had too many bozos in the past as teachers. They don't know what to do with a teacher with a brain.
I have a kid who does nothing- and asked me to pass him:
"Miss, am I passing your class?"
"Well, let's see- you missed all 12 homework assignments, you didn't complete 3 lab reports, and have a 16 on a quiz- why should I pass you?"
"Because you're nice."
I hated to tell him I'm not THAT nice- why burst his bubble.
