One minute in the life of a high-end tutor...

I was meeting with my student V today, and we had this exchange as I was examining V's essay from last week's practice test, which I graded last week and had not looked at since...

Me: "There's no conclusion, and there are 3 examples instead of 2, and the indentations are barely noticeable, and you write way too small... I gave this an 8?? I can't believe I gave this thing an 8.."

V: "You're such a douchebag."

Me: "Wow... I'm trying to remember the last time a student actually called me a douchebag during a lesson."

V: "Pretty recently, I'd guess."
