Great Kid, But a Bad Student
I had a great student named Hank. He was a great kid but a bad student. It was presentation day and I already knew Hank didn’t prepare a single sentence. Before class, I told Hank, “Dude write something down. You HAVE to give a presentation”. He laughed it off.
At the start of class, I told him again, “You will be presenting today, do something, I’ll let you go last”. I was giving him every chance I could. When it came to Hank’s turn, he said, “Sorry, I have nothing”. I told him, “That’s OK, you can stand here for three minutes then”.
He came up and gave his best shot at winging a presentation, which lasted all about 30 seconds. At that point, I moved to block him from leaving the “stage” and let him spend two and a half minutes standing up there, dying of embarrassment.
He prepared all his presentations after that. Story credit: Reddit / lucy_throwaway
