Shoulda seen that comin’ a mile away
Tue, 1 April 2008, 11:24 am by jadeiteI push a pen into my student’s hand. “Okay, go to the board and edit the sentence there. You can erase what’s not important, or you can change words if you want.”
The student stands up front for a few minutes, perusing the sentence and chewing on his lip. I decide to be merciful and relieve his distress.
I turn to the others, who are whispering answers to each other: “The rest of the class, you can shout help to your friend if you want to.”
The entire class perks up, and with the cunning delight of Oedipus outwitting the Sphinx, they eyeball me gleefully and chorus in unison:
“HELP! HELP!”
LOL well the fact that they are witty enough to abuse the flaw in that statement and have the sense of humour to pull it off is something to be proud off ;P i know lots of jc students who probably wouldnt get it -_-”
