Seven students . The teacher then began to hand out the . There were only three sentences typed on the paper, “Congratulations! You have just an A in this class. Keep believing in yourself.”
I never had a teacher like that, I think it is a test that any teacher could and should give. Students who are not in what they have learned are B students at best(充其量).
