Blame Me, But You Still Pay

When kids do absolutely no work for several weeks, they are totally unprepared to take an exam.  (These kids are capable of passing if they would only use their brains instead of their mouths.)  Most were clueless during today's test and started blaming me for their lack of readiness.  I said, "Blame me all you want, but you will be in summer school, not me."  Their complaints suddenly stopped.
