Link to the paper if you want to read it
I must hand it to my teacher- I didn't think she would control a bias and impartially grade my paper- on the last page, she even thanked me for staying entirely within the realm of the humanities, while the day before it was due she found 6 pages to be off topic. Anyway, here is the cover sheet to the paper I wrote... I'm pleasantly pleased. Oh, and MastaHankey- you don't need to put her on Troll Island anymore
(even though she is giving a really good friend some terrible grief... 
)

And, I'm 100% certain that your grade had nothing to do with board members' private threats that your teacher would either be banished to Troll Island, or, in the alternative, be (made parts out of) in Clankeye's next episode.
Unfortunately I could not open the paper itself. This old Gateway desktop here at home had "issues" with WordPad or whatever the program was. (Believe me, "issues" are something this 'puter has a lot of, lately. It's never been right since the Klez worm came through and infected it a few months back. A techie pal of mine got it running again, but we need to do a full restoration on it and scour it it out completely. First we gotta back up all our files and all that jazz.)

<< <i>Good job! Isn't it great to be able to research something that interests you? >>
Absolutely! Now to start a project on pancreatic cancer (interests me, but not in a happy way).
<< <i>Congrats Jeremy, I look forward to reading when I get a spare moment in 2008 or 2009! >>
Good- when I graduate college!
Nice job, Jeremy! That's EXCELLENT!

Cool. Have you ever seen "A christmas story"? When I saw your A+ I couldn't help remembering the scene where the teacher is saying "The thesis I have been waiting for all my life! A plus plus plus plus..."
<< <i>Jeremy- Cool. Have you ever seen "A christmas story"? When I saw your A+ I couldn't help remembering the scene where the teacher is saying "The thesis I have been waiting for all my life! A plus plus plus plus..."
No- I tend not to watch many things with Christmas in the title- they just don't interest me (of course, I have seen the classics like "The Santa Clause" and other great comedies
<< <i>Great job Jeremy!!! Can my son borrow that paper when he gets older? Just kidding.. Spectular.. We are all very proud >>
No- I plan on publishing it if all works out, so then it is super-duper plagiarism... and I would have to sue you for everything you're worth
It deserved the grade it got, A+.
but from my experience with teachers some in high school but most all in college that they the teachers are usually unreasonable insane and unfair
so this really doesnot surprise me
that is why they are teaching they cant do much else
now this has just been my personal experiences many others may have a totally different view as maybe i just got a bad lot of teachers so to speak and so i am biased based on my experiences but i think not

One question now that this has been accomplished. Do You still Hate this Teacher that was trying to Get the Best she could from you ? Excellence some times takes a little prodding and I believe that is what the Teacher did when your woes were explained in your initial post about your paper.

Congrats! I knew all the tension you had building up was a tad premature. I truly believe your prof was issuing you a challenge, which will be counted in your overall class grade: How student adapts to challenges; did he stick to his guns and remain resolute? Did he roll over and comply without further effort? Did he maximize the values of each and compromise WITHOUT losing focus. I really believe the A+ is the BEGINNING of your reward.
Now, are you still moving ahead with submitting this to the numismatic community? I hope so. If you belong to a local club, submit it and push it up until it gets its space in the Numismatist. Not sure where else it may receive printing in its entirety. If nothing else, you may have secured yourself a spot on the "numismatic literature to look out for" list.
I hope you remain enthused about your education, and subsequently your contribution(s) to the numismatic community. My best regards.

<< <i><FONT face=Verdana>While I do agree that that is an acceptable position, my main reason for being upset was that the paper was approved in its entirety, and the day before it was due (mind you it is 1/3 of the quater grade) my teacher decided to change her mind and tell me 6 pages were unacceptable.
She was put on the defensive when I tried to explain my case and when my parents came in (they would have waited, but, again, the paper was due the next day- there was no time to wait to see how things played out, I just didn't have the time to follow strict guidelines).
She seemed very unwilling to accept my view that everything in the paper dealt with the humanities, and, in most previous experiences, if a teacher doesn't allow an argument the first time, you pay in the long run. She seemed quite upset when I was not willing to allow her to maintain the power she felt she held, thus I was, in a sense, looking down upon her. Her actions towards me made me feel as if I would receive a grade that was unfairly low.
From the start, however, I did say that if she admitted that I was right (ie. that she was able to risk some pride and admit that a "powerless" student had spent time to prove her wrong instead of doing what she saw as easy and taking out 6 pages [i didn't see that as easy]) by giving me a fair grade which I, and many others who have read the paper, feel would be an A or above, I would forgive her and have no hard feelings. Her actions have proven to me that she, while originally giving me a hard time, was able to turn around and do what I felt to be fair and correct in the situation.
Yes, I did learn from the experience, but the learning was painful and not how I would have liked to learn, nor how anyone should have to learn something of this nature. >>
As for publication... I can tell you this much:
-The Numismatist has said that it is too broad, but well worth the grade. .
- It will be published over many weeks as a series in the YN newsletter
- My poem will be published in the YN newsletter
- I am looking for more places to submit this that are circulating... any help is appreciated- I may have a separate post about it.

I don't know, Jeremy... I would say most of the really important things I have learned in my life were delivered to me in exactly this way.
Very good on the news about The Young Numismatist publishing... keep pushing it. And don't hesitate to reread it every now and then and make it better yet, if you see an opportunity. The A+ doesn't have to carve it in stone.

<< <i>A+, gee that like an MS70. I wonder how PCGS would have graded it. >>
Cameron said there is a PCGS contest for $$$ early in the year... gonna submit it- the Numismatist also requested my permission to submit it to the literary competition for YNs... I didn't request remember, THEY wanted to
