Ok, I get back today into the credit recovery lab I am working in for summer school. The kids acted like I have been missing for ages upon ages. They love the melo-drama.
Later in the class, I was helping "bob" with some geometry work on trig functions. Well, we got the answer wrong on the program...and I swore up and down it was right...because we are "never" wrong.
He redid the lesson and came on the question again. When I looked at it this time, I realized I made an error. You thought that was the end of the world for him. Here was the conversation:
"Bob": YOU GOT IT WRONG MISTER!
Me: I looked at it wrong is all.
"Bob": but you got it wrong. You're the teacher, you aren't supposed to get it wrong.
Me: I am only human...I make mistakes sometimes.
"Bob": you aren't human!
Me: no? Then what am I?
"Bob": an intellectual being!
There you go folks...we aren't human and aren't capable of making mistakes! :-)
