Things My Students Say #3

Me: Do you want to hear something exciting?

Students: Sure... Yeah, tell us something.

Me: Think about how old you are.

Student: 14!

Me: In your head. Do you have it?

Students nod.

Me: OK, add four. Are you voting in the next election? Happy or sad, are you getting involved?

Students cheer!

Student: Ms. D, did you know that if all the states were the same, then McCain would have beat Obama?

Me: Sure. I mean, that doesn't make sense. They're NOT all the same.

Student: I know. I'm just saying. Gosh.

Me: Good morning, Period Two! Please get out your journals. OK, we're writing New Quarter Resolutions today. Who knows what a resolution is?

Student: (raises hand) OBAMA!
