Last week, I taught my pre-teenager class the term "frequently asked questions". (I don't write the textbooks, I just follow them.) Anyhow, they read a fake webpage about mice and then had to design their own webpage. They were so excited when I pulled out the colored pencils that they weren't thinking about the content that needed to go on the page. So I asked my strongest student what his webpage was going to be about. He replied cars. So I asked him; "What questions do people have about cars?"
"What is fastest car in the world?"
"Okay, good", I said. "What is the fastest car in the world? What next?"
"How can I pimp my ride?"
Please remind me of this story when I want to quit teaching.
