Guess who got their id card today? Now it's official. I owe Touro some money.....I better get to work now..
Scenario #1
Student: When will we ever have to use this stuff?
Teacher: Never, you should be content in the idea that everything we do in this class is pointless and carries no relevancy towards what you plan to do in life. Your best bet is to drop out and find someone that's willing to hire someone with your limited abilities and start contributing towards social security so that people that have taken the time to learn something will have something to retire on.
Scenario #2
Student: When will we ever have to use this stuff?
Teacher: Unless your going to be a teacher or continue going to school, never. However, what this class does for you is not limited to formulas and theorems, it is a chance for you to train yourself in the art of learning. The ability to learn is innate and is something that has to be developed. If you are content with what you've aquired and the rate at which you aquired it then there's nothing left to be said. But, if your curious about testing the limits of your ability to absorb, analyze, organize, and hypothesize, then let's see what today's lesson is.
Scenario #3
Student: When will we ever have to use this stuff?
Teacher: What stuff?
You tell me Scenario 4...........

Scenario #4
Student: When will we ever have to use this stuff?
Teacher: Never. You will not have to think for your self ever because McDonald's now microwaves their food, so all you have to do is listen for the beep. But if you get tired of listening to the beep you can start to think about how the lives of the people in the books that you once held in your hands you just might be able to crawl out of the grease pit of your life.
Scenario #4
Student: When will we ever have to use this stuff?
Teacher: Shut your mouth sucka foo!
Alex,
Have you read Brad's latest blog. He too is thinking about the entitlement in our students. The same students who make this smug comment. All I can say is that some day, some day, they too will have to face the insolence of someone else and perhaps they will feel a pang of remorse for having said this to you.
Student: When will ever have to use this stuff?
Teacher: A guy I know makes $150,000 a year and gets an average bonus of $15,000 a year and he uses it everyday at his job.
OR
Teacher: Why do you care? It's worth 200 points and it's due at the end of the period.
Scenario #4
Student: When will we ever have to use this stuff?
Nice Teacher: You will use this stuff when you have achieved your life's goal: acceptance into NASA's astronaut program.
My response: When you're developing your escape plan as you sit in your cell at San Quentin.
I'd like the scenario #2 response printed on a little card that I can whip out of my pocket at a moment's notice.
Student: When will we ever have to use this stuff?
Teacher: When you get a high-paying professional life-long career. In other words, never.
Student: When are we ever going to use this stuff?
Teacher: Right here, right now to get out of my class, otherwise I'll see you next year. Since you must jump through these hoops to move on in life, why don't you try a bit of brain expansion to broaden your horizons and give yourself a fightin chance at having a decent life.
Student: When are we ever gonna use this stuff?
Teacher: Perhaps in your late 20's to early 30's after you bring a hot date home for a drink and you are greeted by your parents asking how your work day at Taco Bell was today and would you like some leftover tuna noodle casserole for dinner? And honey, your underwear and sheets are now clean...I couldn't put the Sponge Bob sheets on anymore, they just don't fit your twin bed, and oh yeah, I left your binky on your dresser...
