The article describes a study on the relationship between teacher-pupil extra-sensory transfer and letter grades. The extra-sensory transfer implies the ability of a subject to receive a simple mental message from the agent. The letter grades pertain to the standard A, B, C, D, F method of grading students' academic progress. The group results tended to show that no significant extrasensory transfer occurred between the teacher and the group of students as a whole. There were no significant relationships exhibited between extra-sensory perception scores and letter grades received in a particular course by the group as a whole.
