The Laughter Begins


If it is one thing you can never be short on humour as a teacher. 

I gave my Form 3 class this question.

"Do you think that man is the most influential biotic factor. Give a reason for your answer."

I got all variations of answers to the question. But the ULTIMATE was this:

"No!!! Man is not the most influential factor because there are some women that are stronger than men."

I had to restrain myself not scream out in laughter. I could not believe it. Especially after reading the question sayin "and people when I say "man" I am referring to humans eh." I read out some answers to the class - though they couldn't see who's I was reading at the time. When I read that one- they laughed - expectedly - but had some good commentary - surprisingly - to go along with the laughter. One student even explained that even though the person's opinion is valid, it doesn't accurately answer the question. but a good point none the less. lol lol lol lol 

Another week- the labs begin and I am still psyched. lol The days are tiring though. But very rewarding.
