I'm so used to being called Fefe that I didn't even get that 'flad' was me at first

Well first, AP tests are over like a month before school ends, right? So you shouldn't be too swamped

Anyway, this is something I would do to my students, but then again, they all are constantly emailing me like, "Is there any extra credit I can do?" or "Can we meet to discuss my paper grade?

" so maybe I'm not the right person to ask
But the short answer is no, it's not reasonable

Can you turn it into something fun? In my AP History class we had to give a presentation on "any important person in American history" and I did my presentation on Mariah Carey
