And the kid who is absent from class too much, sent from class for disruptive behaviors, comes in smelling of pot and sent to the office, fails a class cuz', despite ability, they refuse to work, not to mention the boy or girl who cheats, and the son or daughter of the Superintendent who fails the final, and the family who objects to the Mark Twain literature and its use of the vernacular DESPITE being on the approaved curriculum, naturally there are the one's who didn't make the first string in football or were restricted from sports b/c of grades....or they just flat ass out don't like you with no good reason other than they have niece or a nephew who can take the job you have.

It happens. And it all happens all the time.
