A professor’s prayer

by Henry Farrell on June 7, 2009

in Frivolity

From Thoreau at Unqualified Offerings.

Lord, grant me the courage to fail the students I cannot pass, the strength to grade 100+ finals and 20+ lab reports, and the fortitude to withstand the consequences if a mentally unstable grade grubber gets an A-.

Replace ‘lab reports’ with ‘final papers’ and it travels nicely.
