Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Ill-Flavored
HIGH SCHOOL | LEARNING | FEBRUARY 11, 2014
(I teach at a small charter high school. I keep a container of candy on my desk, and most students respect it. If they leave it alone, I give candy out during class when the students are working. I start to notice my candy disappearing, so I go out and buy a huge stash of the ‘Jelly Belly Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans.’ I wait until right before third period, which is when I know I have an issue with “‘sticky fingers.’ I pour the candy in the bowl and leave the room before the bell rings, checking the hallways for lurkers. I come back in and start class.)
Student
#1 : “Eww!”
Student
#2 : *gags*
(The two students run from the back of the room to start hacking into the trashcan, spitting and fighting over a water bottle. I wait for them to stop and look up.)
Me: “Sooooo. What did we learn?”
