At the bottom of a test I just graded:

"You can't get me Lukens!"


Unfortunately that student only got a 72%.

I told the students to write about a topic of their choice (~2 paragraphs) to start class. Here's my favorite response word for word:

"I was watching Dr. Phil and they were talking about online scams. People who use love to get inocent victims money. They talked about a women who fell in love with a man online, and sended who money when he asked. But really she knew little about him. She didn't know if he was scammming her or was it really love. I think that he using her for her money but she couldn't realize it."

I opened one of the windows in my room because it was hot and one of my students quickly said: "Why are you doin' that?!?! It's freezing in here!" Another student replied: "Michael, we're traditionally the tropical people; this guy is of european descent."
