Girl sues for 1.3 mil' 'cause of C+

[∞∞∞]

How did this even get to court?

A graduate of Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa. has sued the school for $1.3 million because she is unhappy that she got a C+ in a class in 2009...

...Thode was in the last year of a master’s in counseling and human services in Lehigh’s College of Education. She needed a B in the course at issue — a fieldwork class — to qualify for another round of field work, which was required to obtain the degree.

Thode’s lawyer, Richard J. Orloski, maintains that she deserved a higher grade. However, her professor, Amanda Carr, awarded her a big, fat zero for classroom participation. That zero brought her grade down...

...Neil Hamburg, an attorney for Lehigh, says Thode’s lawsuit is outrageous...

...Hamburg pointed out that Thode is the daughter of Lehigh finance professor Stephen Thode. One of the perks of that relationship was that she was able to enroll in the Lehigh graduate program tuition-free. The school provided her with a job as well. She also got to attend York College of Pennsylvania at no charge as an undergraduate thanks to her Lehigh connections, says The Call...

Your story along with this one I saw last week are part of what's wrong with America.

The San Diego family is suing the amusement park because, they say, the employee playing the Alice in Wonderland character was racist. .........
"The rabbit was turning his back on him like he didn't event want to touch him," Elijah recalls. "I went up to try to hold his hand but he kept on flicking my hand off."

But when two white children approached (the Blacks are black), the character showered them with attention and hugs, the boys' parents say. The family filed a complaint, with photo evidence, but they weren't satisfied with management's offer of VIP passes. They want a public apology and for the employee to be fired, in order to ensure "this doesn't happen to another family," says Jason Black Sr. They hired an attorney after months of battling, when Disney asked them to sign a confidential waiver in exchange for $500, and are now asking Disney to review surveillance footage of the incident.

I thought PFL went to UNI?

I saw a claim against a theme park where a guy sued the park for the cost of Gold Toe socks and a pair of Rockport Walker shoes. In the letter, he claimed he had taken a deuce in the restroom and realized that the TP dispenser was empty. So the guy took off his shoes and socks and used his socks to wipe. He then walked around the park the rest of the day without socks and claimed that the inside of his shoes were ruined. His total claim was for something like $60.

I would think that it would be worth far more than $60 to avoid the embarrassment of having my name attached to that claim.

Professor's kid. No sense of reality and the real world.


I wonder if I should send a thank you to the prof that gave me a shitty grade in a class that led me to change my major. I make a lot more money than I would have if I had stayed the original path.

Does it really cost 1.3M to go from a C+ to DDs?

Well, for some strange reason she's trying to go from a C+ to A's. Apparently THAT is a lot more expensive.
