The worst part of any teaching job is listening to students whine about the grades they earned.

A great prof at a good engineering school had four of us on a group senior engineering project.

The prof said all each group would recieve the same letter grade for the project.

Three of us did the work, one did nothing.

We complained, prof said “life’s not fair. Get used to it.”

End of semester, three of us got A’s. One got an F.

As you’d expect, the slacker threw a fit.

The great professor said “life’s not fair. Get used to it.”

Talk about lessons learned!
