apple_pathwaysThis is from a teacher friend's Facebook status:
Overheard in journalism class while students were using newspapers for an assignment: "Whoa, is this how people find out what movies are playing?" and "Oh! They put dead people in here, too!" Blerg.
A journalism class that has never seen a newspaper. *facepalm*

Just like one day, when I am teaching, anyone who enters my creative writing class without ever having read a poem voluntarily will fail. (Had some of those writing poetry in the class when I was a TA.)
