My students are geniuses. Geniuses, I tell you, because this is what other people have to contend with.
Thank you, Alex, for the link. I’ll be exuberantly happy to see my students tomorrow because whatever they do, it won’t be that. Or maybe it will but I won’t understand it because their Spanish won’t allow them to express it.

It reminds me of a hilarious book I read when I was at school. It was a parody of the way English history was taught in the UK –
“1066 and All That: A Memorable History of England, comprising all the parts you can remember, including 103 Good Things, 5 Bad Kings and 2 Genuine Dates.”
It was first published in 1930 in Punch, a humorous magazine.
