Untitled... because I'm not feeling creative.
Today, one of my students gave all of the other students (you know... all 4 of them) the finger while being removed from the classroom (which involves being held by one person under the arms, and another person holding the legs, and being taken to a padded room in which there are no desks to flip and the walls are soft enough to bang your head against without inflicting serious injury - it sounds creepier and more mental-institution than it actually is). I found it kind of surprising that with everything these kids see while being in a class with other "behaviorally disabled" students, someone giving them the finger is what shocked them into gape-mouthed silence. I almost wish I could teach entire lessons while flipping them the bird.

Do I know you? Do you have something to say about my post? Or are you simply posting to get more traffic to your blog? Because, I'm not sure, but I don't think many of my readers are fluent in German.
Janie's practically fluent in German. But I don't think she wants anyone to know.
I remember the days when the middle finger was so scandalous. In one class there was a reading assignment and it said 'fingering the lettuce' on it. Did we ever snicker!
Jess, you should get permission to randomly commit social fouls, like giving the finger and farting, in order to get their attention. Hey, whatever works, right?
yes, *ahem* my german classes are coming along quite well... movingrightalong... sometimes i think it would be a good investment to make a padded room in my home.
