I asked my students today to write about something that people don't appreciate or care for as much as they should. Most students listed things like the environment or their health.
One student seemed to ponder this question for quite a while, his face screwed up in heavy concentration. Excited by such effort, I eagerly grabbed his folder after class to see what he wrote.
"I think people should care about pizza. Pizza does so much for you and people don't care. If cars ran on pizza they would run better."
He got a ten out of ten.

One of my more interesting students (the one that flashed the entire class a few months ago) called out to me in the middle of our period and said, "Hey Ms. Warren, look over here!" I looked over to his table and screamed in panic, because his hand was on fire. I was super confused because he seemed to be enjoying his spontaneous combustion (it usually ruins my day)
Turns out, he was spraying his hand with opious amounts of cologne, then setting it ablaze with his lighter.
While the pryomaniac in me was super impressed and a little tempted to try it myself, I found myself pulling a responsible adult by taking his lighter away and trying to convince him that setting our classroom on fire would be a bad thing in the long run.
Good times, good times.
