I’m sorry … I know some of you will truly wonder about me now … but this made me laugh:

Funny thing is, I was googling the lyrics and ran across a site where people are seriously discussing the errors in the song:

“Cause if your brain is gone you don’t care wether you have eyes or not because your dead… that part is retarded.”

and

“I’m pretty confident that zombies aren’t capable of rational thought. You appear to be the one with the handicap if you are criticizing them for their logic. I wonder if that makes your brain taste better or worse…”

are just a few comments put up here for your enjoyment.

You may thank me now.

Dear Students,

When I ask, “Did you practice this?” the answer, “I think so,” doesn’t really cut it! It’s a yes or no question. And suggesting that you think you did but can’t quite remember means that if you did put the reed in your mouth and play the piece a bit it probably didn’t count as high quality practice.

Sincerely,
Your pesky teacher

Yes, students have said that to me. Not just one student, in fact. And no, this didn’t just happen so I’m not pointing at any person in particular. It’s been a long enough time now that I feel safe mentioning it without directing the comment at an individual.

But the “I think so,” answer does make me laugh. And then get annoyed. I’d much rather hear, “No, but I sure put in a lot of effort on this other piece you assigned!”
