In my Junior year English class we were supposed to do something one semester (like 10 hours or ... 16? I don't remember), but the grading system was broken so I wound up still getting a C even without doing it and the teacher never questioned it.

I had an experience like this. Long story short, I was required to do "volunteer" work for a high school class. However, I didn't know how to drive at the time in order to get to any of the "volunteer" places (where those places really should have been hiring actual workers and paying them, but got high school kids instead to do "volunteer" work they didn't need to pay them for) and my parents couldn't drive me to where I had to go and walking was out of the question since I was in the middle of nowhere and I couldn't get a ride from anyone else. The teacher was an asshole and didn't want to hear excuses. So rather than risk walking through a forest environment for hours where either a bear or snake might attack me or illegally take one of my parents cars and do a real life version of Grand Theft Auto (most likely hitting and crashing into who knows what since my only driving experience at the time was Grand Theft Auto: Vice City on Playstation 2), I just took the hit of points being taken off my grade. I was lucky enough to get a "B -" since I scored extremely high on all the tests, but sadly lost a shit load of points because I couldn't complete the "volunteer" hours. There were a few others that took the same hit and ended up with a "C" grade because they were in a similar situation as me.
