What the Kids Say: I Know You Were Teaching, But . . .

The following are those moments when I'm teaching, the classes is discussing or I'm helping a student one-on-one and the ever so diligent pupil makes a statement that makes me pause, tilt my head to the side and wonder at what point is some guy in a bad suite going to jump out and say, " Smile, You're on Candid Camera!"

He's just happy to see her.

" Were slave girls given pads too, or like what did they use?"

" Are Kangaroos extinct or just endangered?"

" I'm on page 27, can we just flip the numbers around and say I read?"

" El Paso is in New Mexico, duh."
