Ok so on monday...
In my history class I paired up with this black kid for homework discussion. Now this is no ordinary black kid. Well he probably is, so scratch that. It's funny though, cuz the first time I saw him I was like "wow, this kid looks exactly like one of those singers from b2k." And he does. Anyway, he barely comes to class, and whe he does he's always late. The best thing is though, he tries to walk all "cool," so if you "ain't wit it," you'll think he has a limp or something. It's hilarious.
So while we were "discussing the hw," the teacher comes up to him and asks him where he was yesterday in a very friendly manner. Oh yeah, this woman is Italian, and she is soooooooo goddamn anal. Her class is what i'd call "hard"(and not like a pee pee mind you), and she gets very annoyed when people come in late. To quote her, being late "detracts from students' educational experience." Native American please. Anyway, back to the story.
The black kid tells her that his car broke down. Now I begin to laugh. I must admit, you have to be clever as hell to come up with an excuse as good as that, and i'm guessing this kid has experience with tricking people(especially what one that is "wit it" would call "da hoez"). So the teacher acts like she believes him and then starts talking about football HAHAHAHHAHHAHAHA. No seriously, she does.
Now I laugh even harder. She's saying shit like "C'mon, there's 90 yards left and you have to go long and make the touchdown." I can't stop laughing. This is like something from an snl skit. And then the black kid says something like "Oh hell yeah, i'm a make da touchdown, i'm playin madden fa sho." I keep laughing of course. Then the teacher says(and very enthusiastically) "See, i'm using these football terms to try to get you motivated to come to class and do better." My god, this one really did it for me. I must say, this made my day. Haha, the funny thing is the black kid is still trying to defend his image by saying "Oh yee yee, ah mean i did da homework, and ah come to class, ah mean i'm a do well in dis class."
God, they need to put this in a movie. The funniest thing is, I think the teacher thought she was actually helping the kid out and being "hip" at the same time. Teachers need to stop trying to be "hip." I hate teachers that try to get along with their students in a friendship type of way. Uggggh.
