[Belated] DPP 21: The Shiniest Gifts of All

About a week before Christmas, my ninth-graders asked me what I wanted for Christmas.

"I'd like you all to turn in all your work, on time, completed to the best of your abilities, every day for a week," replied I.

"That seems like a lot to ask," said one young lady, and the room filled with giggles and murmurs of assent.

"What about your birthday?" asked another?

"Two weeks!" I suggested, and they laughed. I received many gilt packages this week (and they are beautiful!). I expect this means that they will not be attempting the Great Homework Gift. Alas!
