Unless one has actually taught in a public education environment, I don't think they can completely appreciate what I have to work with some times. Here is a good example from today. I had my students looking up some reference pictures on the internet to use with their current project. Suddenly I hear some of the students start laughing, and one student protesting. So I investigate...The one protesting blurts out (I kid you not)..."Mr. Adams I'm trying find a picture of thunder, and so far I can't find anything with an image search!"
You know, some times I just shake my head and laugh or smile, rather than run my head straight into a brick wall. Oh and btw, she is a pretty blonde, so I expect she will someday be a CEO.
