It's That Time Of Year Again...

As final projects are being handed in and assessed, and grades are being posted digitally to on-line resources, I tend to get a couple of letters every semester from students pushing for a change in the grade. Here is a sample of a letter I shall never receive:

Hey Professor,
I cant believe you got grades up on line so quick. I was amazed by teh A-. I was hopping I could get you to reconsider the grade. Normally I don't do so well in collage courses, and I don't wanna upset my parent's expectations of me. Is there any kind of extra course work I can complete to get a lower grade? I'd really, really appreciate it.

Thanks, and have a good break!
