My kids finished their in-class essays today (see Day Thirteen). One kid finished early and had this to say...
INT. CLASSROOM - DAY
Student - Hell yeah! This is an A+ + + !
Teacher - You sure you checked everything? All your verbs are in present tense?
Student - When you read this, it's going to be music to your ears!
Teacher - Well in that case, maybe you should read it in front of the class. So everyone can enjoy the music.
Student - Only if I can stand behind the podium. My knees will be shaking.
Teacher - Then your shaking knees will be music to our ears.
Student - Yeah, but I might pass out.
Teacher - Then that will be music to our ears. When you hit the ground, it'll be like a drum.
END SCENE
And that in a nutshell is why I still like teaching.
Signing out.
