classroom funnies

So we are studying medieval Europe now in World Civ class. Last weekend the boys watched the new Sherlock Holmes film for fun time. Needless to say an action flick like that is still on their minds, and when you teach boys with ADHD, their mind are all over the place.

Here is an exchange that occurred between some sophomores I participated in:

Kid A: "Hey Brian, Sherlock Holmes was real right?!"
Best teacher ever: "Nope. He is just a cool fictional character."
Kid A: "Aw...(crestfallen pause)...I thought he was a real detective."
Kid B: "Don't worry man. Robert Downey Jr. is real though."
Kid C: "Truth."
