I have, basically, two classrooms. A studio and a computer lab (next to each other). We were doing a major project today in my computer lab. We had teachers come in and judge my students on these presentations.
In the studio other groups practiced to get ready. A student left his brush in the studio. He was also mixing a "formula" for his presentation.
While he was performing his presentation "somebody took his comb and spilled his formula" in the studio.
He is frantic about the comb. He is upset about the drink falling over. He proceeds to say this....
"You know the football players did this. And you know they won't get in trouble for it....because they're football players".
I have about 6 varsity players in this class.
What do you all do about the persception from other students that football players are treated differently or have preferential treatment?
Just so you know I jumped this kids ass. Told him it was complete bullcrap that he said that. I also told him he doesn't get to play lawyer here and assume it was the "football guys" who did it. I will continue to rip his ass tomorrow.
