Very funny! In my elementary school, we just filled out report cards and the
"specials'" are on a separate report card. As a joke, one classroom teacher
passed around a "bogus" report card with the name Paul Gaugin. Well, a few
of the specials, who maybe randomly check off "Satisfactory", and thinking it
was really a kid, gave Paul all satisfactory checks. I, of course, had to
give Paul outstanding grades. I added a note complaining, however, about his
frequent absences as he has been spending a lot of school time in Tahiti.
