In addition to my junior high school classes, I also teach some high school 3rd grade writing classes, mostly as preparation for the university entrance exams. "Writing" is a somewhat deceptive term though; it's really just translating from Japanese to English. Anyway, iwas teaching this class yesterday when one of the kids' phone rang. This guy in the back looks in his bag and then stands up and makes what is called in japan the "guts pose." It's basically the pose at the top of the stairs in Rocky. Anyway, the whole class breaks out into thunderous applause which lasts for like 2 solid minutes. The other teacher who was with was like, "what the heck's going on?" but I kinda had an idea. Turns out he had just become the first kid from his class to be accepted into university. I expected him to get up, chuck his textbooks in the trash, and just walk out if class, but it turns out it was just his second choice school. So I had him answer #3 on the board. He got it completely wrong.
