The child suspected that his teacher wasn’t reading his homework and handing out grades willy-nilly. To prove his point, he took the risk and wrote a pretty legendary paragraph in a take home essay.
The student wrote: ‘In all honesty, I am already bored with this topic. It is far less interesting than I had hoped and I really don’t want to finish this essay. I’m fairly sure you don’t really read these, so I’m just going to put enough words down to make it seem like I wrote a lot while I kill time.’
The student, bored with the essay topic (which was Shakespeare, by the way) decided to test his knowledge on rhyming words instead.
‘Wanna hear some words that rhyme with ‘time’? Crime, dime, mime (ha ha, mimes are funny), chime, lime.’
He then goes into a Joycean-esque type prose, writing about his most inner thoughts on fizzy juice.
‘Aw, dude, you know what has lime in it? Sprite, it’s like lemon-lime. I could really go for one of those about now, but not Sierra Mist, that just isn’t the same. It tries too hard to be Sprite but it just can’t pull it off. It should just try to be itself, and stop trying to measure up to other sodas.’
Deserving of an ‘A’ in it’s own right perhaps, but firm evidence that the student’s teacher is NOT paying attention to his pupils’ work.
Whoops!
