On January 26, Facebook User (and presumably a real person) Kaye Rains Neufeld shared a since-shared 10,000 times story about a teacher who failed their entire class.

I’ll post it in its entirety here, so please treat it as [sic].

Teacher Fails Entire Class:

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that she had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on this plan”. All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A…. (substituting grades for dollars — something closer to home and more readily understood by all).
