Quote for the Day 9/14/2012

The bell had just rung, signalling the end of composition class and the beginning of break.  I left off reading the Time column I was reading aloud, expressed regret at having misjudged the time, and said "You're excused."  No one moved.

Student:  Who wants break?  Go on reading.

Me:  Anyone who wants to leave may leave now.

Still no one moved, so I finished the column.

God bless these lively, thoughtful students of mine.
