One of these days Alice, one of these days....

As I've said before, I care about my students. I enjoy teaching them, and they are fun to be around. But some days, such as today, they test my patience. Today in my conversation class, I was numbering off students into groups for an activity. After numbering them off twice, one student had the balls to ask me again what group he was in. In a fit of rage, I flipped a desk over and yelled at him "DAMMIT AUSTIN, LEARN TO COUNT TO TWO! FREAKING TWO!" I stormed out of the classroom to have a smoke and calm down, at which point Robin Williams walked in, took the weeping boy in his arms, and said "It's not your fault Austin, it's not your fault."
