Hammering the Point Home with Humor

There’s a teacher whose grading style is as unique as his sense of humor. After a student turned in a particularly impressive paper, he scored it 100. But it wasn’t just the score that caught the student’s eye—it was the comment left below.

He joked that he would have drawn a cartoon hammer with a “Nailed It!” caption to commend the stellar work if only his drawing skills were up to par. Instead, he quipped about sticking to teaching rather than venturing into art. His lighthearted comment acknowledged the student’s excellent work and shared a moment of self-deprecating humor, making the high grade even more memorable.
