His professor sent him an e-mail the following day:

Dear Michael,

Every year I attempt to boost my students' final grades by giving them this relatively simple exam consisting of 100 True/False questions from only 3 chapters of material. For the past 20 years that I have taught Intro Communications 101 at this institution I have never once seen someone score below a 65 on this exam. Consequently, your score of a zero is the first in history and ultimately brought the entire class average down a whole 8 points.

There were two possible answer choices: A (True)and B (False). You chose C for all 100 questions in an obvious attempt to get lucky with a least a quarter of the answers. It's as if you didn't look at a single question. Unfortunately, this brings your final grade in this class to failing. See you next year!

Sincerely,
Professor William Turner

P.S. If all else fails, go with B from nowon. B is the new C

Teacher suspended for hanging 'brat' upside-down

YOKOHAMA -- A Kanagawa Prefecture public elementary school teacher has been suspended for one month for holding a boy upside down as he carried him over a pedestrian crossing, education officials said.

The 11-year-old pupil sustained injuries to his neck and ankles, causing him to miss 10 days of school, but his absence was prolonged even further because he developed a fear of the 54-year-old teacher who punished him. "We would like to deeply apologize to prefecture residents," a spokesman for the Kanagawa Prefectural Board of Education said. "We want to thoroughly instruct our educators so that this sort of incident does not occur again."

Board officials said that while on an excursion on Oct. 7, the boy persisted in trying to climb up the side of road signs, constantly ran out onto the road and repeatedly acted in a dangerous manner. The teacher warned the boy about his behavior several times, but the pupil from a public school in Ebina, Kanagawa Prefecture, ignored the teacher and persisted in messing around. Finally, the teacher bent down and grabbed the boy's ankles, flung him upside-down and carried him across a pedestrian crossing. He then slapped the boy to the face several times and dragged him for some distance by the scruff of his neck.

My Hero!

Arrested lecturer uses twin brother as stand-in student counselor

KUMAMOTO -- A former university lecturer arrested and charged with drug possession used his twin brother as a stand-in to counsel troubled students, despite the brother having no qualifications, it has been learned.

Furious Kumamoto Prefectural Education officials plan to file a criminal complaint with police against the former lecturer, Yujiro Sonoda, and his twin brother, accusing them of fraud. "These were actions that trampled on the feelings of troubled students," an education official said. "They defamed education. It was extremely malicious and we therefore decided to file a criminal complaint."

Despite knowing about the fraud, however, the principal did not report the incident to the Prefectural Board of Education for months. The Prefectural Education Board also paid him 260,000 yen.
