Tanya the TA (Paid Post #1)

Tanya was just your average TA. She always helped Johnathan grading the geometry homework. She always stacked it in the likely hood that the students would get the answers wrong.  The correct one were easier to get through.

Of course the first paper was 100%. Alicia was always great at her homework.

The next one was a 90% which was average from Tom. Tanya rolled her head from shoulder to shoulder. Feeling that satisfying little pop as she did so. On to the next paper.

Megan got an 87% and Tanya adjusted herself in her seat a little. Her top feeling a little loose on her.

Now that John was a bit of a mixed bag, some weeks he'd do great, but she knew trig was a tough spot for him. 77% was to be expected.  Tanya had to adjust her seat up. The desktop felt a little too tall.

Kevin was a bit of a slow student, and he never got the whole SOH CAH TOA thing. 74% was respectable for how much he struggled. Tanya got up into the chair, sitting on her feet to get the right height. Something strange was going on.

Greg got a 70% he did everything he could to just do the minimum. Evert answer was correct, but not every question was answered. Tanya felt herself going up on her knees was she getting smaller with the kids grades?

Sandra wasn't great at math. So her getting a 67% just shy of passing the assignment, didn't surprise Tanya, but it still frustrated her as she felt herself standing in the chair and leaning over the desk.

Javi was probably really good at math, but there was a language barrier there, and it caused him to struggle more than the other students. So when his homework came back with a 45% Tanya knew she was in trouble. She climbed up on the desk when her phone buzzed, it was the boss.

“Hey Tanya, how's the grading going?”

“Fine, but I'm having a headache, I did get through all the homework though.”

“oh all 15? already?”

“15? I only got 8?”

The professor sighed, “OK, I guess the others are zeroes then.”

“What!? Wait.”

“Sorry Tanya, but you know the rules if they don't turn in their homework they get a zero.”

“But, wait hold on.” Tanya could feel herself shrinking, faster now, “all of them have to be a zero?”

“Yeah, I'm afraid so.”

Tanya dwindled rapidly, and as she tried to cry for help she realized that her voice was sounding farther and farther away as the smaller she got the tinier her voice got.

Tanya ended up resting on the ruler on the desk. Well, this was her life now. Hopefully the next classes would go better.
