Day Thirty-Nine

Kids are funny.

My sophomores are writing research papers, and these are the type of questions they're asking me.

INT. CLASSROOM - DAY

Girl - Mr. Birds-Eye, did Obama fulfill his dream?

Me - What?

Girl - Did Obama have a dream to be president?

Me - I don't know. Why don't you research that?

Girl (disgusted) Uggghhhh.

END SCENE

Later on, I showed them what they're getting in the class, and this is what the same girl said.

INT. CLASSROOM - LATER

Me - You're getting a B+.

Girl - 89.9% isn't that an A-?

Me - I don't know. Ask Obama.

END SCENE

And that in a nutshell is why I still like teaching.

Signing off.
