Some people just don’t want to cross an arbitrary line that they’ve set for themselves. B++? Come ON! That’s an A! I think there are many people who have had teachers like that.

Lukjad007, If you are referring to the Theme from “Welcome Back Kotter,” you are really dating yourself!
Thanks for all the kind notes. It’s good to be back and I’m already working on another Gridlesode so hopefully, we’ll have one in August.

I can feel your pain, I too have received a B++ (actually a P++ in an honors/pass/fail grading system). It was a class for statistics graduate students that I was taking as a molecular biology graduate student and I got that grade with the second-highest ranking in the class. I wondered at the time why the professor didn’t just give me an H--.
