Those of you who know me well know that I consider it a privilege to teach. Even though my students really challenge me at times, I love the opportunity to invest into their future, as painful as that may be.
I have one student who continually amazes me. I have assigned somewhere around 6 essay/writing assignments this school year. He has turned all of "0" in on time. It's always the same ole same ole..."I will turn it into you this evening, Mr. Sheneman." "This evening" must be a time frame that does not fall within this universe's spectrum of order because "this evening" has not happened. Obviously, his computer exists inside a black hole, making typing utterly impossible. How is one to format a paper if the keys are all spatially challenged? Now, if I put the assignment on MySpace and had them type a bulletin, he would miraculously manifest a 30 page thesis about the "effects of rock music on the equilibrium in the inner ear," or something relevant like that. Go figure, right?
