Non-required Education

I honestly get chills every time I hear a student say, "I was listening to that band you recommended.  They are really good."

Don't Trust Anyone

I get a feeling of joy when my students figure out that the answers that somebody else wrote in the book are all wrong.

Let It Go

*A large football player is singing to the frozen soundtrack*

Student: "I can't hit those high notes like I used to."

Me: "There is a reason for that."

V-Day

My students are talking about the things they got for Valentine's Day, and it has been revealed that girls regularly get money as gifts.  The implications of this are bothersome on a variety of levels.

No Questions Please

When we review for tests in class I always make students work problems by themselves for the first ten minutes.  During this time I refuse to answer any questions.

Student: "So how do I work this problem?"
Me: "I will answer that in... four minutes."

*two minutes later*

Student: "Ohhhhhh, that makes so much sense!"
Me: "This is why I don't answer questions for the first part."
