Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
She's a street lamp.
I was gonna say.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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.
Remember, Emily, it's your job to sit back and enjoy the teen drama without actually worrying about it.

It's sort of like The CW, but with BO and acne.

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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hee. I always wonder if I've struck the right balance of teen drama interference. Mostly I try just to listen, but if they ask directly for input I do tell them stuff.
The best part is when two out of the three of your students in a particular class are having dating drama with each other and are coming to you for advice. I'm all, dude, I totally can't give you insider info!
