Social blunder

My Ashland students are writing their final in-class paper at the moment. The topic, prescribed by the Department, is "discuss how you have developed as a writer and student over the course of the semester."

One of the students asked, "What if I don't think I've developed?"

He must not realize how much that sounds like "your teaching has been ineffective." Anyhow, his grade is just a couple of points under a "pass" at this point. Maybe he didn't really change all that much.
