18 of the Funniest Bribes Students Offered to Teachers

People in positions of power know that a bribe beats out good old-fashioned hard work any day of the week. The difference between them and the rest of us, though, is that they have access to resources that could actually sway someone to do what they want. Students, on the other hand, are young, dumb and broke, which is why their attempts at bartering don’t hold much weight. Just ask the teacher whose pupil offered up twerking lessons in lieu of a better grade. His offer was declined, but it provides insight into what he considered to be a worthy exchange. 

Other educators have shared stories about the ways their students have tried to grease their palms, and some of these kids definitely have a future in politics

DanielJK42 11y ago Music major: Our ear training professor told us the only way to guarantee an A is diligent day by day work, or a manilla envelope full of 50s slipped under his office door. Another kid in the class bought Monopoly from the local thrift store, put the 50s in an envelope under his door. Prof loved it, grade did not improve, though. 24 Share ...

 11y ago I became romanticly involved with one of my middle school student's sisters(She was 19ish I was 24).

Funny thing was he didn't need any bumps to up his grade. 868 Share ...

well_uh_yeah 11y ago I had a student once who came up in the middle of a test and asked if he could borrow some tape. Uh...whatever, let's see where this is going... I thought to myself. When he hands in the test it feels kind of funny and I see no tape, but there's a note on the bottom of the page that says to flip it over. I flip it over and see a penny taped to the back with a note that says, Maybe Mr. Lincoln could convince you to mark number three with some compassion. I chuckled.

zxo Зу ago Engineering, SLAC I once received a (very obviously fake) $100 bill from a student, jokingly asking for an A.

About 10 seconds and one magic marker later, I was offered a $1000000 bill. Which I took and keep pinned to my office corkboard. 36 Reply Share ...
