I really have nothing today. It was cold and snowed today. I had no motivation to grade the huge amounts of papers I need to grade. I got the oil in my car changed. I told people a million times that there are only 4 days until spring break.
A funny moment from Health class today:
Alice: "So, who pays for the jails?"
Class: "The government? Your mom?."
Alice: "Who gives the government their money?"
Class: "I don't know, Jay-Z."
Alice: "The government's funding comes from taxes, so who pays for jails?"
Class: "The government? 50 Cent? Your Mom?"
Alice: "Citizens pay taxes, so in a way we all pay for jails."
Class: "That is gay. We should just ship them(criminals) to Cuba."
Alice: "Did you guys know that the English used to ship all their criminals away to Australia?"
Class: "They did, that is crazy. So really all the people in Australia are criminals?"
Alice: "Well, not exactly. Some may be but they weren't sent there. Most Australians probably have ancestors who were criminals."
Class: "That is so wack."
They then went on a five minute tangent about who knows what. I think it had nothing to do with violence and the cost to society. SIGH!
Did your class really think before they said to send the criminals to Cuba. I find it a bit ironic that they would suggest such a thing.:)
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHAHA! They should all be in debate. Judges love it when you say something is "wack". It's entertaining! Hey-when are we going to go to Su Casa? :-) Also, are you planning to come to Kelsey's dance concert this weekend? I find it odd that I am choosing to discuss this with you via your blog, when my phone is sitting right next to me. Weird.
ReplyDeleteI miss that school!
