Quote of the Day (grade)

Student 1 [sees what grade she got on her test]: “Mister, I did better than I thought.”

Me: “Yes. I’m glad you did well.”

Student 1: “Did Student 2 finish the test?”

Me: “Yes. She did well too.”

Student 1: “What did she get?”

Me: “I can’t tell you that.”

Student 1: “Did she...do better than me?”

Me: “I can’t tell you that either. Besides, why does it matter who scored higher?”

Student 1: “Well, if you can’t tell already, I’m very competitive. I have to score higher than my friends.” (1/15/20)
