Some of the stories from three years of tutoring...
Saturday night... frat boy comes in wanting help in Algebra 1. I start helping him, he says he has a test on Monday and he has no clue what to do. His phone rings, he say to the person on the phone: "This is so gay I am here studying for a test, oh the party is starting I'll be right over." He hangs up and says he's learnt enough, he hadn't been there more than 5 minutes.
