Quote:I had a student tell me yesterday that he doesn't need to read because he won't need it in his future job.  I asked him what that was.  He answered that it was playing football.

 

I began to explain to him that in order to reach the NFL, he would first have to meet at least minimum admissions requirements for college and attend three years, because you could not be NFL draft eligible without three years of college.

 

He proceeded to put his fingers in his ears, called me a hater, and told me I was trying to keep him down and crush his dreams.

 

I don't even know where to file this, but your post reminded me of it.
