I've got a student who's sending me emails literally begging me to move her grade from an A- to an A. I don't know how to respond to this, since she's not really getting any way I've tried saying "no."

If you e-mail me again, I'm going to introduce you to my friend Vortex.

Is it too early to go to bed?I vote no, no it is not too early to go to bed. I would like to sleep until the weekend.
Vortex, yep, I know, and I am going to talk to her. I'm just stressed about the situation and bummed that I don't get to see the doctor I liked so much.
You need new HMOI found in LA that a lot of good medical offices don't take any HMO insurance plans. It seems to be PPO or nada. I lost my original PCP down near school a year after I moved to California because she decided she could no longer afford to have HMO patients. The only reason I was able to find a PCP in my current group is because she's relatively young and still building her practice. She'll probably ditch her HMO patients in a couple of years, too, and it will be back to the drawing board. Sigh. Wish my school would pay for better insurance coverage, but I know it's a pipe dream.
Anyway, don't mean to be all glum. It will work out. I'll have ND pick up the slip for the chest x-ray some time tomorrow (if they'll let him...I hadn't thought about that) and try to get to the radiology place as soon as I can. I'll deal with my PCP when she calls with the results.

Hil, I would respond with something like, "Dear [Student], The grade you received is what you earned during this semester. As I have said, I do not change grades. I will not reply to further emails asking me to do so. I wish you all the best in your future studies. Sincerely, [Your Name}

Referring her to a remedial reading course because her understanding of simple declarative sentences is lacking? "I"m sorry, I didn't realize you were illiterate. The sentence, 'No, I'm not changing your grade' must be above your reading level. I've already called the Reading for Adults people at this address, they're expecting you."

Our wings are not tired.
How much do I love that it took but a few seconds for Vortex to provide the answer?

Or you could go with Vortex's reply, which is making me grin a lot.

Also today, I noticed that I added up a student's exam grade wrong. I was off by two points, and when I added in those two points, it was enough to move her final grade from a C+ to a B-. And it's too late to change the grade through the online system, so I've got to go to the registrar's office and fill out a ton of forms. I apologized a lot for that one. (When I was grading the test, I wrote "5" next to a problem, but then when I was adding up the grades, I read it as "3".)
