i could be wrong, but it doesnt look like you opened the file for grades.txt. try opening it before you use it with
ifstream("grades.txt");
before line 24.
and make sure you close it after youre finished using it.

Impersonating or otherwise a professor and claiming to know another person under these alleged circumstances could have disastrous consequences for you and particularly the health and welfare of a student, alleged DrHayes. You are probably in breach of your duty of care, negligent for misusing the power imbalance inherent in your alleged position. I will be watching with close interest and suggest you tread very warily in any further steps you decide to take.

Thanks for the report. DrHayes is up for worse than a pink slip.
