Student teaching is a humbling experience.

While teaching a lesson today on the Federal Budget and expounding on Social Security to answer a student's question, I said something like:

"...so all of you that have jobs are paying into it now. Theoretically, when you're 65 1/2, you can pull out."

Thank God it was senior civics and we all sort of chortled (including my cooperating teacher) instead of having to reign in 34 freshman who still make fart noises and laugh at poo-poo jokes.
