top ten in teaching history:

my time as a teacher has come to a close. :) with many "student of the week" profiles gone by the wayside, i'd like to end the semester with the following top ten list...perhaps not the best, but surely the most memorable moments so far:



10. being called a "bitch" and "nice girl" in one breath by a student

9. having students ask me to move an 8:30 a.m. class time to accommodate them

8. being mistaken by students as a lesbian

7. receiving "love letters" on teaching evaluations at the end of the semester

6. getting grilled by students (see cuckoo chanel) on teaching evaluations

5. having one or two students turn out to be "cool" people and hanging with them post-class time

4. having students ask you if you "want to be a teacher when you grow up?" and telling them no

3. seeing justice served

2. getting an e-mail from a (minor) student asking for beer

1. not ever having to see their whiny faces again!!!
