Ack. I'm not sure if I just gave a student a useful tip for dealing with girls or made for an awkward situation. Crap. I think I liked it better when I only had boys.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

New (to me) Yiddishm "From Hunger" meaning "out of desperation". Anyone heard this before?

Remember, Emily, it's your job to sit back and enjoy the teen drama without actually worrying about it.

Yeah. I probably should have just let it play out on its own. Well, a lesson learned, I suppose.

On the absurd side, I gave a student a copy of that article on student entitlement in a last-ditch effort to get him to show some life. I told him I was going to try to transfer the "locus of control" onto him.
Even if it doesn't work, I think we've just started a catch-phrase -- he thought the word "locus" was pretty cool.
