Overheard in class yesterday...
"Hey Mr. ________," one of my students yelled out in class yesterday. "I know science. When you combine a proton and a neutron..."
About here my ears perked up. He seemed to be using the right vocabulary.
"When you combine a proton and a neutron, you get a voltron, right?"
*WHAM*
That sound was my jaw hitting the floor...in my mind. Of course, a voltron! That's what they named the robot after...
In reality, all I said was that we would have a lot to discuss when we got to electricity and magnetism.
"No man, we don't need to talk..." my student responded. "I know this!"
Clearly.
Tales of a myterious vandering student and Calvin the choker coming up later.
