I've definitely seen evidence of the act before, TS, so I believe it exists. This just didn't seem like it.
This student specifically said it wasn't me or my comments or her grade or the assignment that we were going over, and I guess it seems like if she was trying to get something out of me she would have said that she'd slaved away on hours over this or something. Maybe not, though, maybe she thinks pity spreads.
I really think it's the pressure of this competitive school. To make matters worse, half my students are freshamn who are used to being the top of the class. Not everyone can be the top now.
