'Fine, I'll leave you alone': Teacher gets even with team of students, they miss MVP project deadline, fail program

Though the days we fretted about exams are far behind us, we can still remember the bitter taste in our mouths as we bit our nails, staring gloomily out into the distance through our dorm windows, the background noise upping our stress levels. Being a student sucks, we get it. But that's no excuse to disregard someone else's time, much less a mentor who isn't actually receiving any money for doing their job. In this case, an IT mentor volunteered to teach students code, IT, and MVP.

The team of students she was teaching was wasting her time, and after she sent them various emails reminding them of their deadline, they sent a disrespectful response, asking her to kindly, 'back off'. The thing was, the program she was teaching gave kids credits and helped them get into better schools, or even earn scholarships later in life. But of course, you know how it is, being young and dumb, you don't really think about the consequences of your actions. Their actions, in particular, resulted in them getting a big fat zero.
