Who wants to play a little game I like to call PENETRATING QUESTIONS YOU’D SINCERELY LIKE AN ANSWER TO (IN QUESTION FORM) BASED ON SOMEONE ELSE’S COMMENTS MADE ELSEWHERE ON THE SDMB?
Anyone mind if I go first?
anyrose? You out there? If so, tell – do you make this face under other circumstances?
:smack: Would you like to see the rest of my albums? 
Photo or record?
Did anyone ever tell you that you are a great sport? 
Have you ever heard the story of the teacher who liked to come up with crazy names for teams for his in-class review games like The Tree Weasel Brigade, The Dead Socks, Constipated Cupcakes, The Medicated Outpatients, Sketchy at Best, The Orange and Black Extension Cords, The Ear Wax Losers, The Horticultural Brainsurgeons, The Dead Zombies, Hot Pink Heifers, Purple Tamale Hoppers, and…Rancid Yak Butter Tea Party?
Well, have you?
is this done to provoke the students to fits of giggles?
are you a teacher who does this or a student this has been done to?
Why do you ask questions that are so hard to answer with a question?
Shouldn’t you assume I am a teacher? Shouldn’t you assume that I do this to invoke great amounts of laughter and creativity into the class setting?
What do you think of such a teaching strategy?
doesn’t it depend on the student?
couldn’t it have the opposite effect of so distracting the students from the project at hand that they spend the entire class trying to make up funnier names, thus deterioating into a screamingfest?
Well aren’t you just a spoil-sport? Don’t you think that students are already under a lot of pressure without people like you trying to ruin a little bit of fun?
Couldn’t it be that the students are taught when it is appropriate to goof off and when it is not? Haven’t you heard about my legendary ability to get students focused?
Is it possible to phrase a a question without sounding defensive?
Isn’t it possible that I’ve never had an elementary or secondary teacher whose attempts to become creative did not end in a bloody heap on the floor?
Couldn’t it be that I have no faith in the kids of today respecting their teachers enough to focus?
Yakkie, may I ask what you teach?
What’s new? did anyone miss me? How did we get off on such a strange tangent with the questions?
Did you miss being here? where were you?
Don’t you know that I teach middle school mathematics?
Who wouldn’t miss being at the SDMB?
Why do I feel like this is an entirely different thread than when it started?
Isn’t that how most threads end up?
Isn’t it time that you lightened up on the self-medication, mon ami? :eek:
What are you talking about? Did I miss something? Where’s the goat?
