Don't know where else to talk about this, so here it goes GMTAN -
In one of my classes, my students' first papers are memoirs. I just read one from a black girl. She's by turns incredibly focused, talkative, and intelligent...then sleeps through the next class or inexplicably gets up and leaves halfway through.
I just read her memoir and I can't decide if it's BS or not.
She claims to have gotten pregnant at 17 with twins. The father was a good guy who had a full ride to NYU. One night they end up at some old high school friend's house and the end result is he gets killed, she stabs one person to death, shoots another twice in the head then empties the clip into his body, 
then she throws a knife at the last person, hits him, and watches as he falls down a staircase to die as well. So she killed three people and watched her BF get murdered. Then, to top it all off, she has a stress miscarriage and loses the twins.
 
 
How the hell do you grade something like that?   
 
ETA: I forgot to mention the murders were kinda self-defense. These people broke into the house. They brought the gun she eventually used to shoot one of them. And since she's in my class, I imagine the courts agreed with that. She doesn't mention serving any time. Just being mentally unstable for awhile.
