You have to do the work to pass. You're thanking the teacher for handing it to you instead of making you get up and take it. I think. I've never done it myself, but I don't consider myself a very polite person.

I think what this post means is that no one is actually thankful when a teacher hands out an assignment.

Maybe cause the teacher is handing it to you instead of throwing it at the ground and making you pick it up. Believe me I've had a teacher do that.

Well I think the OP means that it's weird to use "Thanks" as opposed to saying "Thank you." I noticed this too just the other day. Most kids say "thank you" when they receive papers from a teacher, but when that one kid says "thanks" it just sounds off.

@AwkwardMoments1 Yeah, pretty sure you misinterprated this one . . .

Meh, well the post seems to make more sense when you interpret it the way I did. And to my original comment, I meant that "thanks" just sounds not as polite as "thank you."

. . . Not really, but I understood what you meant the first time around. I'm pretty sure the point of the post is that you're probably not actually thankful that your teacher is giving you work to do, but you say "thanks" anyway as a reflex. And apparently OP thinks it's weird that we instinctively say "thanks" or "thank you" or whatever even though we obviously don't mean it, because we don't really want the work the teacher is handing out.
