I’ve decided I like using famous writers or historical figures for the pseudonyms of my students in these posts, so I think I’ll keep doing it. Anyway, here are some conversations I’ve overheard. (I may also go through and blockquote the quotes to make them more readable.)
Confusion on the topic at hand:
Herbert Spencer: “Don’t you have to stick them with a needle to kill them?”
Friedrich Nietzsche: ” No, you chop their heads off and watch them run around.”
Herbert Spencer: “Shrimp don’t run!“
While teaching Earth Science:
Charlotte Bronte: “What causes coastal erosion?”
Emily Bronte: “YOUR MOM!”
