too bad.

Student: (hacking coughs)
The Teacher: Seriously. Would you go over in the corner and choke? I have had enough of your attitude.
S: (while coughing) Could I go get a drink of water?
TT: Absolutely not. I don’t care what’s wrong with you. Just stop interrupting me.

Today, The Teacher’s lesson is about the difference between skinny questions and fat questions.
I can’t even begin to know how to understand this.

My favorite bottled water in the whole world is made by Iceland Springs. It is incredibly tasty and most delicious; no other water can ever compare.
Until today. The Teacher informed me today that she lived in Iceland for two years, thus managing to taint not only my job, but also my hydration drink. Dang.
giant pencils?

The Teacher: Did the Egyptians use ziggurats?
Student: Um, I don’t think so.
TT: You’re right! They used those big pointy things.
S: Big pointy things?
TT: Oh, what are they called…
Me: Pyramids.
TT: Yes!
hmm.

From an e-mail:
Due to the on-going construction, the fax machine will not be operably until further notice.
carbon-14 (again)
October 2, 2006 at 3:16 pm (bad, stories)
Last year, The Teacher informed her students that carbon-14 was a powder that you sprinkled on an artifact to learn about it. She enlightened this year’s students further on the topic.
The Teacher: Carbon-14 is a machine that tells you how old something is.
(later that same day)
The Teacher: Carbon-14 dating tells you whether something is an artifact, or a fossil. It tells you what it’s made of, where it came from, and who used it.
