A paper cannot be awarded an A if it is not educated, objective, and impersonal. Colloquialisms must be avoided, and will lose points. 85 is fair,
Good paper, but you answered criticism with opinion rather than verifiable fact

They get to charge tuition for that?This teacher has told the class numerous times that he's not grading on grammar and he lets paragraph structure slide. He wants the content, since he believes that is the most important thing.
Deer Hunter said:I just wanted something more than “your opinion is wrong!” to explain the grade.
They are all idiot savants, they poses knowledge or skill to an extraordinary degree at one specific thing, but are quite helpless and hopeless at all else in the real world.
You being the nerd you are I would have hoped you could have seen that.
We're ovbiously biased but as the guy's english instructor his first job is to teach his students to be better writers. The time he spent writing a paper preaching his own views to his student would have been much better spent marking the student's paper up to point out errors.Honestly, I can pretty much picture your paper... because one gets posted on here about every week. The paper receives all sorts of accolades from your peers on THR, but that doesn't make it a good paper. That just means we agree with the sentiment.

But really, are you there to protect me instead? If you hear gunshots in a neighboring classroom are you going to run into help me, to be a big-ass hero? Or should I carry a handgun in case one of my students go berserk?
There was a young chemistry major who attended (PAST TENSE) a major university in Texas, a university that enjoyed yelling immensely. This student, a sophomore, lived (PAST TENSE) in an off-campus apartment complex a quarter-mile from campus. Every Thursday, after eating an early dinner, this student would walk to a 6:00 P.M. chemistry lab. While walking to the lab one night, the student stopped (PAST TENSE) for traffic, hurriedly pressing the WALK button on the traffic-light post. A group of people, also students, waited (PAST TENSE) on the other side of the street, eagerly eyeing the red hand and waiting for their chance to traverse the street. The Chemistry student, while gingerly watching the red hand, did (PAST TENSE) not hear the stranger creeping up from behind. The student does not hear (NOW PRESENT TENSE)the metallic locking sound of a knife opening. However, the student does hear (PRESENT TENSE) the command that leaves the stranger’s lips. “Empty out your pockets!” the stranger says (PRESENT TENSE); these words chill (PRESENT TENSE) the student horridly. The student turns (PRESENT TENSE, ETC.) to see the knife and the face of the stranger, shrouded by a university-emblazoned hoodie. The student’s heart-rate drops, then takes off like a rocket. Sweat beads in the student’s armpits and across the student’s brow. The student takes a step back, looking toward the street that has just cleared of traffic as a greenish-white stick figure appears on the opposite light post. The stranger takes a step closer, pushing the knife towards the student’s turned face. The student’s peripheral vision catches a glimpse of the knife’s blade. The student begins to run, faster than the student had ever ran in the past. From across the street, the greenish-white stick figure has been joined by the crowd of students, all urging the student on. “Run! You can make it!” they cry
