Mr. Wagner;

Looking over your past grades and your activity in my class, I wish to speak to you. You may do it after class, during office hours or over the network.

Thank you

[OH BOY HE THINKS HE'S IN TROUBLE. As a result, sounding pretty nervous.]

Uh sure thing, teach. W-What's up?

I am going to put this simply.

You are wasting your time by being in this class and wasting my time by giving me more work to do, you normally ace anything I put in front of you with very few and very minor mistakes. If you want to keep your language skills up while being away from Germany, I am going to give you four options that I want you to ponder over.

Option One: Take this class as an audit.
Option Two: Take this class and waste both of our respective time.
Option Three: Drop the class and just attend the conversational groups.
Option Four: Become a TA for this class, which will take up more of your time but save me some.

I am open to discussion on any of these.

Oh. Yeah. Sorry...I didn't mean to--I just figured--

Wait, a TA? You mean like, me helping teach the class?

Correct, I can't be all over the class at once and learning languages is hard enough without not being able to have as many resources available as possible.

Being a TA will include helping me grade papers and other tasks for helping with the course.
