Well, one student had it all planned out – they were going to maintain their grades just enough to secure their spot at a top college, and then kick back and enjoy the rest of the year. But when their AP calculus teacher decided to play hardball and retroactively change assignment values, this student wasn’t about to let their college dreams slip away.
