Today's Joy

In the class on population dynamics, relating the personal to the abstract:

Student one: "Why the hell do you ask us these questions? What the fuck has this got to do with anything?"
Me: "Please watch your language, and it's a class on population dynamics."
Student: "What the hell is wrong with my language and why do you hate me so?"

that's a sure win

Student two: "The homework was coloring? You never taught us to color!"
Student three (sick of the discipline): "YOu ever go to kindergarten or anything like that?"

Student four: "This poster is tagged, may I take it?" Teacher: "YEs, please." Student in back of room "Don't take that!" (tagged with HIGHLY inappropriate writing, calling another student a loose woman in more graphic language.) Good give away, yah?

This is amazingly exhausting.
