I was growing increasingly frustrated as I checked the work of my students right before lunch. "Anybody who isn't finished will have to stay until it's done!" I announced. "You'll have to show me your paragraph before you go."
When the fifth kid handed me an assignment that was missing the same essential detail as the four I had just seen, I gave up. "Forget it!" I said. "None of you are doing it right!"
The class looked at me with mild alarm, clearly wondering if they should stay or go.
I shrugged. "You must have a terrible teacher!" I laughed. "Let's try again tomorrow."
