Couldn't help but did some reflection after reading Quinsy's rant about her Heat & Mass Transfer teacher who probably had enough "somethings" against her and decided to fail her when she took a second module he taught.
Hm...
I couldn't help but remember the kids that I really really hated when I was still teaching. I still remember them (and their parents) but did I actually go out to fail them?
To be honest. No. Not a single chance, not a single one, not even a single thought devoted to that.
At least for me.
I get no benefits, no joy, no rewards, no satisfaction whatsoever from flunking students. I want them to move on and torture someone else! Why would I need to do something that evil, just in case I am condemned to teaching the class that kiddo is stuck in the year after? OMG!
But to be fair, I have a confession to make.
My tests always require sound fundamentals and if anyone tries to cheat, they would invariably fall flat. So students self-destruct because they would not bother to get their basics right.
Some learn, others don't.
Still, I have enough "blood" on my hands... :)

I've seen enough students getting flunked out by him and another lecturer just because they don't like him/her/it.
And *gasp* one of the evil ones even told the class her plans on flunking one for the 4th time in a row.
That guy couldn't graduate in the end and dropped out, a module short of graduation.
tragic.

If someone complains and some people be witnesses, the case can stand and school could review exam papers.
