That said, there may exist some failing students who do not even care so much about the grade so long as they get to (1) set fire to something, (2) ruin their teacher's career, and (3) make the national news.
i realize you have the RWJ next year, but do you really think this is a good thing to be talking about in a forum that your students have access to? you will never collect the insurance money now, not when this is so public.
