In class yesterday (I'm teaching summer school) I decided to spend some time showing Michael Jackson's funeral. Mostly because I wasn't feeling motivated enough to really "teach" right then, and I think that it is something that counts as "history in the making". Anyway-so we watch it for about 30 minutes.
Toward the end of class, the students are finishing their work and I show the last bit of the funeral just cuz I was interested. Then I get a comment from the student we all secretly know is weird and just try to let it slide. She says.
Fatin: "Aren't our futures are more important than Michael Jackson?"
Me: (trying not to look at her with a weird face) "Yes...yes they are"
Fatin: "I'm just trying to help you guys!"
(insert furrowed brow...what the heck is she talking about???)
Fatin: "Not her, she's already a teacher." she begins to laugh.
Um...yes. I'm glad we got that all out in the open.
