The Typical Teenage Mind
A recent comment made by one of my students gives insight into the way I think most teenagers' minds operate.
The context: I'm planning on showing part of a war film in class, that, while unrated, deserves an R rating for its content, so I am requiring parents sign a permission form before I show their children the film.
The comment by a seventeenish girl, upon hearing about the permission form: "Oh, I love films that need permission forms. That means they're good."
See what I deal with on a daily basis? Ya gotta love it.
