One of my students was asking me if I have a DVD player, cuz I think she wanted to lend me her copy of Charlotte's Web. She was asking me lots of questions about my DVD player, one of which was, "Does it play bootleggit?" She clearly doesn't know what "bootleggit" means, and it seemed that to her it was just some video format, like VHS, .WMV,... bootleggit.
Yes, that's exactly what she's talking about. But to her, it's just another type of video. She's 8. For all she knows "Bootleggit" is a brand name. She's just repeating what she hears, thinking nothing of copyright infringement.
It's going well. One week until Christmas vacation, though it will be crazy. the VP is conducting a formal evaluation of my teaching this week, tuesday is just about full, with three performances of the Holiday Concert (our class is responsible for "It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year"), and a couple of days of math assessements. The hard part is keeping up with the classes and outside assignments that *I* have to do toward my credential. I'm about screwed in that department.
I am. So are at least Robert and Jason. I don't know if there is a burrito planned, but there seems to have been recently. I'll keep you informed as I find out.
