Entitled high schooler hands his teacher an invoice demanding a higher grade as payment for his emotional labor in a project he didn’t submit: ‘I know teens can be dramatic, but this one still makes my eye twitch’

Most high schoolers hand in assignments, some hand over notes from teacher to parent, and then there is the rare genius who hand-delivers an invoice for emotional labor, complete with a logo on top.

I was a very difficult kid, and I really don't envy my high school teachers, middle school teachers, or elementary school teachers, to be honest. I was always the 'has so much potential' kid who didn't bother coming to class, barely showed up, and could not sit still when actually present. But, and that's a very big but, in my opinion, I was always polite, never bad-mannered, and never ever entitled or condescending. Or at least never entitled enough to treat a teacher like customer support for my own laziness. That is why it takes a very special breed of brat to grow into the student in this story.

You can feel the customer mindset all over this kid. School as a service. Teacher as employee. Deadlines as suggestions. The work is optional, but the accommodations are not. He ignores reminders, skips checkpoints, and then acts like the grade is a billing error. Suddenly, time spent thinking about maybe doing the project is considered work.

Now, without condoning his behavior, you gotta admit the invoice thing is pretty genius. I mean, at least he's not just being an entitled brat but a creative and funny entitled brat. Handing a teacher an invoice takes courage. And at least here, he made an effort: Dragon logo. Consulting services. Documentation. Accusations of destroying evidence. He is not just avoiding accountability, he is branding it. And somewhere in that classroom, a tired adult is trying to hold a straight face while being told to process payment.

Growing up is basically the moment you realize no one owes you credit for effort that never left your head. This kid is not there yet, but that report card definitely got sent priority.
