Remember the whole "stop looking at me" conversation I related on Wednesday?
That same day, all the English classes at the continuation high school were writing the quarterly district essay. (I was covering graphic arts.)
The next day, I covered one of the English teachers. (They were out grading the essays.) And I found this on her desk...

So, instead of working on the required essay (which was worth quite a bit), this student took exception to "being watched", too.
I'm not the only one.
Man, I wonder how well that kid will transition into the adult world.
ReplyDeleteI wonder that as well.
DeleteI can't even begin to imagine how these kids will make it in the real world!
ReplyDeleteIt's a mystery.
DeleteHe must have watched Spongebob when he was little because that's where the fancy The with no actual work on the essay comes from.
ReplyDeleteSeveral paranoid students indeed on that campus :)
ReplyDeletebetty
Students are young and anything can trigger their instincts.
ReplyDeleteI suppose.
DeleteI had something similar this week from a nine year old. It was along the lines of, "This is boring. The End."
ReplyDeleteHe wrote more than this high school kid. *shakes head*
DeleteEventually they grow up. Or at least we hope they do.
ReplyDeleteYes, some do.
DeleteCute cartoon figure!
ReplyDeleteIf only he had put as much effort into the essay...
DeleteNever dull or boring is it? One day we can only hope they will grow up.....one day!
ReplyDeleteSome of them will. This kid...?
DeleteGood grief. I may slap the next person who tells me I should substitute teach.
ReplyDeleteOn the upside, he clearly put a lot of work into decorating that opening T!
ReplyDeleteIn defense of the kid, I could probably, and likely have, scribble larger and more intricate doodles than that in less than a minute or two. It probably didn't take as much time or mental energy as it looks.
ReplyDeleteIt isn't the doodle that's the issue. Doodling while thinking or after finishing is one thing. Doodling instead of doing the essay... (The rest of his page was blank.)
DeleteRemarkable what kids will find to amuse 'emselves instead of having a go
ReplyDeleteI have had this argument with them many times. If they took half the effort they used in resisting the assignment to do the assignment... But they'd rather resist.
