French Crime

Most professors get letters from former students thanking them for something they taught them.
Yeah, I get letters from my former students, too. But they all come from prisons and mental institutions.
And they curse me for turning them to a life of crime, madness, and suffering.
Look here, man: I teach Introductory French.
How exactly does Introductory French cause people to turn out so badly?
None of the students ever explain how I’m to blame for their predicament. They just blame me for their woes. And curse me.
The least they could do is write their letters in French.

  1. Haha! Exactly. I can totally relate to this…! No letters from jail… yet!
    I like the fact that you didn’t try to come up with some odd reason for French being the reason they go crazy. Realistic. And the last line is a great way to wrap it up. Great job.
