Similar money back story:

A pupil who once graduated pricey private high school in London decided to claim money back claiming he did not learn anything.
Priincipal decides to put series of exams to check if that's really the case.
Every school subject he would fail: science, reading, literature, history, but at the end, in the math exam the math teacher asked him how much school has to return his money back.
Pupil expressed the amount in terms of amount per month; number of semesters and number of months per semester.
Math teacher proudly put grade A to his knowledge of math and dismissed pupil's claim.
