Cancer Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 However tempting it may be to me, I have been told that dropping references to songs from the 60s into my physics lectures is a Bad Idea no matter how relevant they are.

death tribble Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 True but there is no way on Earth that you could get 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia' into a physic lecture. Or 'Oops Upside Your Head' by the Gap Band. Or 'My Coo Ca Choo' by Alvin Stardust and don't even think about 'Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter' by Iron Maiden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 A couple of years ago I was having my kids sign up for Chromebooks from the class cart. I pointed out the printed form for them to use and told them to do their best Taylor Swift. I got a couple of quizzical looks, so I explained, "Find a blank space, write your name." One of my students (who'd had me for a different class the previous year) groaned and said, "Mr. P, that's the worst joke you've ever told." I responded with, "Okay, number one, that can't possibly be true." He reluctantly nodded in agreement. "And number two, why you gotta be so mean?"
