It’s a long standing rumour in varsities around the world. The girl who’s marks aren’t quite up to scratch, so she goes to speak to her professor in his office. Some flirting happens, a cute smile, who knows – but all of a sudden she’s got straight A’s. This doesn’t quite work when you do the same in an assignment, and especially not when you’re a 56 year-old male.

Joseph Corlett, the 56 year-old man in question, was assigned a writing assignment for his Advanced Critical Writing Class at Oakland University in the USA. He was told that the assignment could be on any topic, so he wisely chose to express his feelings in an essay entitled “Hot for Teacher.” The exact content of the essay is unknown, but is reported to be all about his attraction to his professor. He has since been suspended from the university for three semesters, and is barred from being on campus.

What does this teach us? Firstly, don’t flirt with your professor, at least not on paper. Secondly, it probably helps if you’re a girl.
