"checks and balances" system

A form of government-operation whereby you are guaranteed "level" or "fair overall" treatment if you are generous with your "checks" to bribe local/state/federal officials, or if you are sufficiently rich (i.e., you have a large enough "balance" in da bank) that said officials feel obliged to make special allowances for you.
We may ostensibly have a "checks and balances" system, but it never seems to help out "da little guy" very much.

cell check

This occurs when the boss walks around to check cubicles, to see who is in attendance or what you doing at any point of the day when he or she is bored. This is to make sure that the employees know and remember who is in charge. It becomes a nuisance or annoyance to employees who are hip to the game.
I was planning on sneaking out early from work on Friday but I had to wait until the boss did his afternoon cell check to see who was still in the office or working.

Check and Chuck

The process of grading endless stacks of student papers by putting a check mark in the gradebook and chucking the papers into a box to be returned to students (or recycled). Check and chuck involves no realistic evaluation of student work, nor is it remotely related to teaching or educating.
Let's see, I have 185 students, and I assign 2 or 3 pieces of work every day. I get 2,000 papers a week. I look at a few, but most of them are check and chuck.
