    Top 5 things you really don't want to do as a grader of student work:

    4. Apply half the whole dang semester's average to a sugar cube Alamo project.
    3. Summarily give zeroes without any opportunity to re-do or re-submit.
    2. Collect papers on Columbus Day, and return them on Valentine's.
    1. Give Suzy Q. Cheerleader a 99 (she is in Debate, Choir, Student Council, Athletics, and has beautiful penmanship), while Zeke gets a 60 (Zeke- with his unruly attitude, old clothes, malodorous ways, and chicken-scratch writing samples).
