Here is a sample of what emails look like at the end of semester.
Dear Ms Charlstone,
I done saw I have an F. I missed some exams. But I did come to class. I really need a B. Please correct this.
A random student.
Here is my reply.
Hello Random Student,
You are correct that your grade is a F. Yes, you did miss a few exams 5 of the 6 given. I did appreciate your attendance for the one class period. However that is not the only time the course met. It would be inappropriate to raise your grade the 75% necessary to give you a B. Regarding the conversation in our office I wish you success with your medical school application.
Best.
V. Charlton
Though names and details have been changed to protect the delusional this is based on actual emails received this week.

I done saw I have an F....I like that one, lol.
Oh my goodness!!!! How do these kids get in??
You have got to be kidding? I done saw?... and then they want a B for showing up once?... Now why can't you done just change that grade Ms Charltone? And good luck in medical shcol, like that is going to happen.
Wow! I'm not sure if you know me or not, but we're in 2nd ward. My husband goes to UCA and apparently the new thing is to take an ADD drug that lets you zone everything out and study for 3 or 4 hours at a time. Some guy told him these pills were going for somewhere around $20 a piece. It's crazy! And a lot of the guys in one of his classes (now this is an upper level class) took them to study for the final.
That is too funny! Don't we all wish life were as simple as typing an email to correct our mistakes! Oh to be so nieve!
that is very funny....i hope you realize that not all arkansans talk like that...only the college goin folks :)
Oh wow! How do you not laugh in their faces? It is hilarious and absolutely terrifying at the same time... I really hope that isn't our country's next doctor!!!
I'm not surprised. Students come in ALL walks of life and stupidity :)
Can't wait to see you. Give me a call.
Veda why did you have to tell people what I said!!! just kidding I love it I want to be you so I can read all your wonderful emails....
Great grammar for this random student wishing to apply to medical school. And I agree with Lindsee, I wish I could be you to read those emails, that would provide enough laughs for a lifetime I'm sure!!
Good Grief....he should read your most recent post about learning how to spell first of all....second of all he should not be allowed into College let alone medical school....you poor thing....at least you have a break now!!!!
That is ridiculous! I hope you survive teaching these here college folks!
