    As a former professor, offer me twenty bucks and I’ll laugh in your face and tell you to get the fuck out of my office. I say this as an honest educator, but the answer would probably be the same from a dishonest one.

      Then, there was the Middle Eastern prince, who’s father, the king, was funding chairs and paying for a major expansion of the college. We will leave it with his having a different set of relaxed rules guiding him. The king was generous when his son did well in his classes.

    One time I wrote a desperate email to my English teacher. Let me do some extra credit anything to not take the class again. He corrected all my spelling and grammar mistakes, attached a picture of my attendance record, and told me to go fuck myself

    Honestly that sounds cheap. The professor probably earns more per hour than that.

    How much time would it probably cost him to teach the student, to get his grades straight? 10-20 hours? Double that worth his salary and maybe it will be worth for him. Lets say he would normally earn 25€/h x 10-20 x 2 = 500-1000€
