Just trying to be as encouraging as you'd expect from me. Smelly's parents paid in full except one fee I'm anticipating.  I told him I'd let him know.  But he was a class act about it. Well, that's good that they've paid SOME now. How was he a class act?

He didn't try to make excuses or weasel out of it.

It may as well be her name.  Her parents don't bathe her.  She stinks all the time, and screams when my wife gives her a bath.  I'm sorry- children who've had baths their whole lives (and are a 18 months old) don't scream when put in water.

So what film are your students watching, June?

I knew a French teacher in high school who would show movies all the time.  If someone in the film said, "Merde," it qualified as educational.

What subject(s) do you teach?

How freakin sweet would it be to be a college professor who has a class on prog?

And I teach English as second language, so it's the same thing as with your French teacher. The film's in English: practices understanding a message in English.

Oh, yeah, you did say that already. My mistake.

David and I, about a year ago, actually devised an entire scenario for not just ONE class on prog but a College of Prog (whether it be the entire university or a subset of the university). I came up with tons of classes and everything. You could major just in many things really. Even Zappa!

I'd major in bombast, with a minor in capes.

I'd want to be the professor.

I could teach all the Zappa classes, Rush, Henry Cow, and a bunch of others.

That is a good song, but it's actually my least favorite from that album. Not sure why, it just doesn't strike me as infinitely as most of the others do.

I'm currently multitasking some reviews as well, so I'm currently listening to ELO. One of my first music loves, but I don't listen to them near as much anymore.
