Are you my 11th grade offspring? Something very similar was uttered in my house last night. (The offspring will be an art major beginning Fall 2015. Where did I go wrong?)
In the Grand Renaissance of disintegration of a wholesome social fabric taking place today, that rejoinder amounted to an after-hours dabbling by an apprentice of a second-tier master.
Hypothetical question about dubious employer/employee interaction that probably didn't happen, and certainly not in Kansas. And anyway this isn't my name.
Comment containing explitives and a few inadverent typos, with the hope that people will reply so as to give the appearance that my thoughts have some value. Really, it's just a cry for attention.
Criticism from second year ed student about your collective jadedness and how you're all in the wrong vocation and this is what's wrong with college these days. Idealistic glurge backed by no real experience, because I love kids.
Insightful comment.

ReplyDeleteCynical smackdown! What mirth at the folly of youth! Name-calling!
