In this story, a high school teacher grew impatient with the way that one of his students was always avoiding deadlines. He constantly tried to negotiate them and get extensions, something which the teacher resisted if he had no good reason to be asking for this.
The time had come for everyone in the class to work on a big project, which culminated in a presentation. On presenting day, the student asked if he could present next period, something the teacher refused.
After complaining about being held back by his grade in the class, the teacher said that he could pull it up by completing his work. His reaction to that was something that left him flabbergasted.

Entitled high school student misses presentation deadline, gives 'invoice' to teacher petitioning for passing grade: 'Emotional labor during class: 2 hours'
Some students learn nothing but audacity when they go to school.
Try as they might, many teachers have no hope of getting through to some of the kids that are signed up for their classes. Once they have made up their minds that doing the work that is asked of them is optional, it can be very difficult to change it.
Dealing with slackers is a part of the job when it comes to teaching, but it does not make it any less frustrating. Even those who have good reason for missing deadlines or falling behind are risking the quality of their education, and sometimes letting down their classmates if there is a group project involved.
Those students who tend to avoid doing their work are often renowned for coming up with all kinds of excuses to justify it. In theory, this should not stop them from receiving consequences when it becomes a trend, but in practice, some will do just about anything to avoid that. The older they get, the more convoluted the schemes become. They are the kind to engineer scenarios that shock even those teachers who think they have seen it all before. If only that effort could be redirected.
