Careful What You ‘Hand’ In
View all posts by TheProfessorThis one is rather crude. I was in an art class for the day recently, and the day was going really well. All the students were quiet, polite and working constructively. Towards the end of the class a couple of the less productive ones at the back of the class started to lose focus.

At the end of the day one of the students comes up to me with a piece of paper. He smirked and said “the guy I sit beside wanted to hand this in.” He laughs, head back to his desk, and him and his buddy head towards the door.
