Gross!
Posted on February 16th, 2008 at 12:30 am by GregM

I was giving an exam today. No big deal (for me, at least) but definitely stressful for my students. It brings out some quirky habits. For example, I looked up and saw one of my students picking his nose! As if that wasn’t bad enough, it gets worse. Forget the fact that he was chewing his fingernails later. I’m pretty sure that there wasn’t anything left of the booger on his fingernail because he ate the booger! I was speechless, which doesn’t happen to me very often. It’s a disgusting thing to do, even when you’re by yourself, but to do it in a room with other people around you?!?! I wouldn’t be so surprised if I was teaching kindergarden, but this is college. Bleh!!!

hahaha! one of my friends is a teacher too and she was amazed that this person actually made a huge sound in her throat (like she was clearing phlegm) and she sounded like an old man because she was being so loud (and rude). We’d never have dreamt of something like that in our days at the same school. I wonder what’s got into kids …
