A Huge Disappointment
We know that sex sells. So when this civics teacher told her middle school class that they were going to watch a documentary about dates, they couldn’t have been more excited. They expected to see some kind of rom-com about how to get beautiful men and women to go out with them.
You could imagine how disappointed these 8th graders were when their teacher finally played the documentary and it turned out to be a movie about pruned up little dates, the fruit. After 20 minutes of pure boredom, the teacher turned off the documentary and redirected the lesson to something more interesting.
