Anyone who says the media doesn't influence our kids needs to hang around my classroom

Student: Mrs. S, is it true the world is ending in 2012?
Me: Not as far as I know...but if it is, you'd better hurry up and do all the fun stuff you've always wanted to do before next year.
Student: Oh my god, I have to find me a wife and get... married!!!

Wise beyond her years...

Student: Mrs. S, did you always want to teach 6th grade?
Me: Actually, I'm going to tell you a secret. I really didn't want to teach 6th grade. I'm glad I'm here now though--I'm having fun with you guys.
Student: I -totally- understand. I was scared to come to 6th grade too. 6th graders can be really immature and hard to handle....
