Today, there was a basket of dark-lensed
safety goggles beside the sign-in sheet, along with a sign instructing the students to take a pair. Once everyone was situated, Jean-Paul stood up from behind his desk and said, "Does everyone have a pair of goggles? Oui? If you would put them on, please. We will have no blindings in this class." He waited until they complied. "Now. Previously I would have needed a partner for this demonstration, but my sister...that is not the point. This is."
The room was momentarily filled with a burst of blindingly white light. When it cleared, Jean-Paul said, "You may now remove your goggles. You will find a
handout on your desk." No, the handout hadn't been there before the demonstration. Sassy speedster. "Break up into pairs or groups. Discuss."
