You are one of those cool teachers i would have killed for in school...
How's this for a true story? My favorite teacher EVER was my senior year English teacher, Mrs Ohlemeir. At one point, we read Lord Of the Flies (which i LOVED). She put in the movie one day, and whithin the first 5 minutes, the class was tearing apart the inconsistancies in the screen version.
So she put it to a vote, asking if we thought that the book was going to be better than the movie. It was unanimous in favor of the book. She asked why, and the class stated that we thought it was wrong to arbitrarily alter a story for a movie, especially a classic.
So she announced that we had taste and class, and didnt need to wast 2 classes watching amovie we already knew wasnt worth our time. Despite our protests, she would not allow us to "cheapen" iourselves with something we were obviously "above".... Sneaky old bitch... god i loved that woman...:D
