A student is failing in class, or for whatever reason wants a better grade, but doesn't want to (or cannot) study and work harder for it. Sometimes it's the crooked teacher or professor who offers the better grades for sex, but it's usually the student proposing sex for grades, often with some version of the old stock phrase: "I'll do anything to get an A!" If they can come to an agreement and the student in question does the deed for the grade, the teacher or professor will help the student cheat on tests, bias all grades given for answers to subjective questions in the student's favor, or (most commonly since this requires the least effort) just alter the student's performance records. There's some Truth in Television here, although as with many dramatic plots derived from Real Life, the frequency of sex-for-grades scandals in high schools and colleges is usually rather over-hyped. Schools (even poor ones that don't screen their employees properly) and the law tend to punish such abuses of one's Position of Trust very severely, since it's often a form of Sexual Extortion, particularly when the teacher or professor is the one making the "offer" to a failing student with no other way to pass (e.g. "I would really hate to see you fail this course..."). Even when the student is the one offering sex for grades, however, the instructor is supposed to know better and will shoulder the majority of the blame in the eyes of the law for giving in to temptation. Hence, any instructor crooked enough to exchange grades for sex tends not to last very long. While overlap is possible, this trope almost never involves any Teacher/Student Romance, since few will contend that Sex Equals Love in such a blatantly mercenary and unethical exchange as this. While it may also be related to The Oldest Profession, this is also rare: few students plan on making a career out of this sort of thing, though if they get away with this in school, they may carry their old habits into the workplace, seeking easy raises and promotions from philandering bosses. And yes, this can happen to both men and women. Sub-Trope of Unequal Pairing and Sex for Services; in this case, the "service" is specifically better grades for a student. (And yes, there's a hentai by this name — but surprisingly, it isn't an example.) |

The Thinning. Students who fail a standardised test are killed, so a teacher promises a pass to a female student who sleeps with him. Then he fails her anyway so she'll be killed and so won't tell anyone what he did. | |

Subverted again in Harleen. Harley was sleeping with one of her professors because she was genuinely attracted to him, she got her grades legitimately but people assumed this when the affair was exposed. As one character points out this trope doesn't actually work. Between multiple professors, peer review and outside marking the only way Harley could have got her qualifications is if she earned them legitimately. | |

In Better Days, exploited by one of the interns competing with Lucy for a radio newscaster position: she made one of these deals with one of her professors, and then exposed it to get him fired. This is among several dirty tricks the intern pulled of which Lucy tells her boss as evidence of her rival's treachery and duplicity. | |

Referenced, but subverted in one Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal: In one strip, a young woman in a low-cut dress goes to her professor and asks if there's anything she can do to improve her grade... only for her world-weary professor to explain that he's Seen It All in 50 years of practicing sexual deviancy in his marriage (involving waffle irons, among other things), so there's nothing she can possibly offer to do for him that would interest him. Referenced, subverted and then taken someplace really weird in a later strip, which sets up the same gag as above but then has the young woman offering another 'anything': She'll babysit the professor's kids for free. The professor folds immediately. |

The Batman Adventures: In the graphic novel for Mad Love, Batman's account of young Harleen Quinzel's academic career strongly implies that she was sleeping with her professors to get higher marks in her psychology classes. Subverted in the mainstream Harley Quinn comics, on the other hand: the loopy young Harleen Quinzel is indicated to have had considerable psychological talent already, and rather than sleeping with a crooked professor suspiciously similar to the one shown in Mad Love, is indicated to have blackmailed him for extra credit and eventually an internship at Arkham using a recording she made of a conversation with him in which she led him into saying some potentially incriminating things. (Of course, in both cases, it meant her diploma and grades weren't as legitimate as they seemed. The mainstream comics also revealed in a long-concealed video recovered from Arkham Asylum of her first "therapy" session with the Joker, she started flirting with him the moment they were alone with each other because she was planning to seduce him all along and only got the job in the first place in order to get into contact with him.) Subverted again in Harleen. Harley was sleeping with one of her professors because she was genuinely attracted to him, she got her grades legitimately but people assumed this when the affair was exposed. As one character points out this trope doesn't actually work.

This is implied in "The Hook-Up Reverberation" episode of The Big Bang Theory, where Penny casually admits her high school PE coach turned out to have a close personal interest in her which amounted to an extremely inadvisable teacher-pupil crush. She took the young Penny to see a Melissa Etheridge gig and Penny played along with the idea to ensure she got A-grades. Penny does not disclose how far she had to go to get those A's but casually says "it all worked out just fine". | |

Inverted in the Swedish film All Things Fair, in which Stig gets into a sordid affair with his (married) teacher Viola. When various circumstances bring the affair to a bitter end, she vengefully flunks him for his chronic absences (which he'd spent being "tutored" at her house) and covers her tracks by destroying all her records of his actual academic performance, which had actually been fairly decent. | |

In Legally Blonde, Elle is disgusted when one of her professors puts his hand on her thigh while discussing how far she can go in her academic career (with the fun added implication that he recommended her to help with a trial because he thought she was a Dumb Blonde who was easy). Upset over the harassment, the thought that no one would ever take her seriously as a law student, and a friend thinking she really was sleeping her way to the top, Elle very nearly gives up on being a lawyer. Also mentioned is that one of Elle's friends gave her Spanish professor a lap dance for an A. She tries to say she passed because she wore her "lucky scrunchy". |

In The Sims 2: University, one of the ways college students can improve their grades is by socializing with the professors of their major. Naturally, this includes romantic interactions and WooHoo. What's more, Drama major professors often flirt autonomously with students, although ironically they cannot be schmoozed for better grades like the others due to a bug (a fix exists for that, though). | |

An episode of Dollhouse plays with this when Echo is hired by a college professor to play the role of a student who is failing his class and decides to visit him at home for some "private tutoring". It's an invoked variant, in that he's gone to the Dollhouse to get a "willing" ringer for this purpose. It doesn't work out well for him, though, as Echo changes personalities in mid-date and stabs him in the neck with a pencil. | |

The student made one of these offers to her male professor, but he didn't understand the offer and simply told her where to find a tutor. This turns out to be a minor Plot Point when they learn the "Black Hats" are completely genderless and said professor was an undercover agent for them. | |

In Pretty Face, Rando needs to get a high score on his math midterm exam to prevent anyone getting suspicious of him (as the high school girl he is posing as always had high grades in math), and goes to try and wheedle the answers out of the math teacher. However, the teacher assumes that he's attempting this trope and goes to make a move on him, to which Rando responds by freaking out and suplexing the teacher in self-defense. The whole thing becomes moot later as Rando simply resorts to blackmailing the teacher into giving him the top score by threatening to reveal the bald spot he covers with a toupee, as knowledge of that would destroy his image in the eyes of the rest of the female student body. | |

Life Is Strange: Not out of extra credit, but Victoria attempts to seduce Mr. Jefferson in order to guarantee a spot in a photography contest for a scholarship. His reaction is firm "no", and he chastises her for saying she could threaten him with the accusation. She does get picked for the competition, but it's out of genuine ability. This is also given a very disturbing twist when it turns out Jefferson is a depraved sadist who wants to go after the girls himself without any offering. | |

A subplot in an episode of Touched by an Angel, when a high school student accuses her teacher of this, spurred by his giving her a mediocre grade instead of the "A" he had promised. After denying it outright, the teacher finally confesses to a friend, but still has the effrontery to lay the blame on the student for having made advances on him and attempts to take the moral high ground by claiming that he simply couldn't bring himself to give her a good grade when she didn't deserve it. | |

Subverted in the mainstream Harley Quinn comics, on the other hand: the loopy young Harleen Quinzel is indicated to have had considerable psychological talent already, and rather than sleeping with a crooked professor suspiciously similar to the one shown in Mad Love, is indicated to have blackmailed him for extra credit and eventually an internship at Arkham using a recording she made of a conversation with him in which she led him into saying some potentially incriminating things. (Of course, in both cases, it meant her diploma and grades weren't as legitimate as they seemed. The mainstream comics also revealed in a long-concealed video recovered from Arkham Asylum of her first "therapy" session with the Joker, she started flirting with him the moment they were alone with each other because she was planning to seduce him all along and only got the job in the first place in order to get into contact with him.) | |

Two and a Half Men has a variation in which Jake's grades improve after Charlie starts dating his teacher. It doesn't last very long, though, since the teacher turns out to be a total nutcase. | |

Discussed in the Doctor Who-episode "The Pilot". Bill tells her foster mother Moira about how the Doctor offered to become her private tutor, leading Moira to ask if she should "break every bone in his body". The trope itself is strongly averted, as Bill is openly gay and the Doctor is only interested in tutoring her because he sees how smart and perceptive she is. While they do grow closer over the series, their relationship stays strictly platonic. Played with again in "Knock Knock", in which Bill pretends that the Doctor is her grandfather while he helps her move into her new lodgings, because if she introduced him as her tutor everybody would assume this. |

In one episode of Person of Interest, Finch is working as a college professor and introducing himself to the students he's going to be teaching. A very attractive female student sits in the front row giving him sultry looks. When Finch explains that all grades will be final and warns students not to seek out any private conferences with him in hopes of getting any grade increases, however, this student immediately packs up her things and walks out in a huff. | |

Zig-Zagged in Dumbing of Age when Sal attempts to invoke this with a teacher's assistant; she neglected to ask him for a better grade before sleeping with him (and she hit on him in an "I need to blow off some steam" way rather than an "I'll do anything" way), and he doesn't have the clout to give her one anyway. He eventually gives her work to another TA to mark to ensure there's no conflict of interest...and then admits he actually would have graded her better because they'd slept together. Jason later gets fired for this, after Penny, who had gotten fired for sleeping with students first, accuses Jason of this, not knowing it was true. | |

Done in The Golden Girls, when Blanche is taking college courses to qualify for a promotion at work. When she's struggling with the class and asks her teacher for help, he suggests this. She's disgusted and angry and even more so when the dean can't do anything, as it's her word against his. She gets her revenge by studying like crazy to ensure that she passes with flying colors and tells him off. | |

Subverted in You (2018) when Beck is going to lose her TA position after rejecting a pass from her advisor. At Joe's suggestion, she locates other victims and records an incriminating conversation with the professor. This helps cement her relationship with Joe who is an obsessive stalker who has targeted her and murdered her boyfriend. Oops. | |

Ash vs. Evil Dead: both applied and subverted. Nubile young student Tanya accompanies Professor Knowby to the cabin in the woods for a bit of Teacher/Student Romance and Ash heartily approves. But actually Knowby intends to sacrifice her in order to save his wife! | |

How I Met Your Mother: Barney sleeps with Marshall's law professor in hopes of raising the class's grades. He eventually dislocates a hip and winds up in the hospital, earning everyone in class... a B+. Subverted in the notorious "Let's Go to the Mall" scene from "Slap Bet" which starts off with Robin telling her professor that she'll do anything to get her grades up; but instead of sex, she offers to sing him a song. |
