Student Quotes #1

Being a teacher, I work with students every day. It's hard work, it's frustrating sometimes, and it's usually thankless, but it has its moments that are really neat, when you see that spark of recognition and the student's eye light up. Nothing beats the feeling of being responsible for that, and that's my personal reward of teaching. On a rather regular basis a student will say something truly memorable, and I started this string of blog posts to capture some of the things they say, whether they be insightful or obvious, intelligent or not intelligent, intentionally funny or accidentally funny. This is an ongoing collection and will be added to when the collection of quotes warrants a new post.
