Yesterday students in one of my classes had a paper due. Actually it was a rough draft they shared with fellow students. I had so many students approach me with variations of "I have a question." And remember, I was in a SWM, and I had warned them of that. So my response (while eventaully helpful) was a bit… not what they expected. But my favorite was the following exhange:
Male Student: I wrote my paper on technology, and I related it to me. Is that OK?
Me: Technology? And you related it to you?
Male Student: I related it to me. Is that OK?
Me: There’s a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes right outside that door waiting for you in the hallway. Is she OK for you?
Male Student: I need to know more than hair color.
Me: Exactly.
I’m off to work. Cheerio.
Wow, you did answer his question though, just not in the way he expected! I bet your students just LOVE you!
