“Oh, and before you leave I have one more assignment,” I said to the class.

Naturally, this news was met with audible disgust from my students.

“The assignment…is to have a great weekend!” I said, smiling now as the groans quickly transformed into a wave of cheers.  “Now get out of here!”

For the most part, all of my students did particularly well on that assigment and were awarded “A’s” - except for Margaret, who was given an ”F” after she told me about how her parents got divorced over the weekend.
