Dear Angry Professor,
My pen ran out of ink partway through your lecture three weeks ago, and I haven't obtained a new one. Can I have your notes from then on. Well, since it would hurt my brain to have to see the difference between my notes and yours, can I have your notes for the whole quarter? And your answer key for the test? And some coffee?

Sometimes, I think you're making this stuff up, but then I remember Poe's Law.
Oh, goodness. Those Depuis Longtemps kids are trouble. I had to deal with the brother a couple of years ago. You grow up in a chateau, you think the world owes you a living. It makes you wonder what we had the revolution for.
Dear student:
What world are you living in when you think that you might not need to know how to write hypotheses in social statistics?
You must be a cousin of my student, who honestly thought that they could fail the first two exams and still pull a B in the class.
no love,

I think it was the same student who was screaming in her cell phone for someone to get to class. Too bad she missed class.
Dear student:
You've probably wasted more time typing and sending this email than learning the Null and the Alternative Hypothesis.
I would think.
Oh, boy. I have a student much like this who just earned himself a big fat F (just posted about him today). Both your student and mine forgot to read the syllabus.
These stupid kids, I swear.
My question is: How can they even think they can understand what a p-value is without understanding what the null and alternative hypothesis is???
Oh, holy crap, I am SO glad to have found this blog. Now I know... I am not alone.
And I teach art history to statistics majors. :P
