Argh
I gave the hockey tickets back to my student today. He was mortified, I was mortified, it was uncomfortable all around. Argh. Thing is, I'm quite sure he wasn't looking for better grades. I think he's taking the course for fun. He's a mature student and a successful businessman, and he probably didn't even consider it a large gift.
Too late I remembered that my politician bosses used to pass some of the swag they received on to local charities. Maybe I should have given the tickets to the Big Brothers or something, and made some kid's day.
