You sound like an asshole. There was a time when I went to a professor to ask him to read a paper that the TA graded. It was graded lower than any paper I'd written, and especially lower than the amount of effort I'd put into it. It's possible to have respectful interaction between professor and student, and he did raise my grade.

Power crazy, pathetic teacher. Way to encourage them to never come back to you for anything ever again, which was probably your goal.

I think there's a major difference between whining about a grade (as in complaining about it without asking for the teachers reasons, refusing to listen to your teachers explanation and refusing to accept the mark) versus having a mature discussion about the grade with your teacher (as in asking why your teacher felt his grade was deserved, asking the teacher what they thought could've been done better, explaining why you feel a higher grade would've been more appropriate, and re-examining the papers requirements together). To just immediately knock down the grade without listening to your students thoughts or explaining why you feel the mark given was appropriate is just rude and makes you the teacher seem power hungry and like you don't care about your students improvement or to have any communication or rapport with your students.

You're the type of teacher I would be afraid to have. The original poster wasn't "whining" at all. All you've done for your students is prevented them from seeking help on a paper they may have done poorly on. I'm not the type to say, "You should lose your job!" ...but that is a terrible philosophy that you impose.

How do you know that OP isn't one of those grade-grubbing, overly entitled, pampered assholes who whine if they get anything less than an "A", which they feel they obviously deserve because they "worked so hard"? Just playing devil's advocate, but you really don't know the true circumstances.

That's for final class grades, this was just an assignment
