An irate father stormed into the principal’s office.

“I demand to know,” he screamed, “why my son Winslow was given a zero on his English examination.”

“Now, don’t get excited,” said the principal.
“We ll get your Winslow’s English teacher in here. I m sure she has some explanation.”

A few minutes later, the English teacher arrived.

“Why did you give Winslow a zero on his English final?” demanded the father.

“I had no choice,” said the schoolmarm.
“He handed in a blank paper with absolutely nothing on it.”

“That’s no excuse,” shouted the father.
“You could have at least given him an A for neatness!”

Ha ha, Marianne and this joke has an element of truth, as yours often do! I don't know if demanding good grades is as common in Europe, but here in the USA the universities receive much criticism if the professor actually requires the students to learn; people think paying the (admittedly exorbitant) tuition entitles students to a good grade....it is quite sad.

Yes, Virginia, and the practice with exorbitant costs and fees seemed to favour the upper levels ...

But that is not new.

"Neatness," answered the teacher, "only counts if something is written. A blank page is no better than a blank mind, which makes me believe in genetics." 

(Teacher fired shortly thereafter, because the cowardly principal didn't want to upset a taxpayer.)

Sadly, that is not new: either exaggeration - whether influent parents or exaggerated protective measures or rules for students - is harming the notion of common sense, educational systems and destabilising the teaching staff and educational values.


That reminds of some parodies about and from the "cultural" turmoils of the 60ies (FR and DE):
