The instructor gave me a C on the final because she refused to accept that "<>" meant the same as "^=".

Yea, it happens. Some people are simplistic enough to be taught one way early on, and then refuse to accept that there are other answers or ideas that are just as correct.

To get straight A's at times you must forget taking moral stands in class and just kiss the teachers ass to get that A. Also the straight A students I knew would always drop the classes with the REALLY bad teachers in college.

I find it hard to believe that you deserved an A in a statistics class.

It's a combination of this and the desire by many educators to have power in their otherwise disenfranchised lives. Educators often pride themselves on being open minded, but the reality is, especially when you get to college, that they are absurdly rigid and parochial. Most professors are open minded about the ways that they will accept students' kowtowing and adulation, and beyond that, it's their way or the highway.

I once dared a teacher to give me a B. I had earned an A, but there was an extra credit project i did not want to do. He said if you do the extra credit project I will give you an A. I told him I did not care about the grade. This was in my graduate Education degree. He gave me a B plus. I didn't care. I graduated with high honors- so what?
