Disruptive Students

Last night I had a pre-semester meeting for work. We spent about 1/2 hour talking about classroom discipline and disruptive students. This was my favorite story:

A fellow collegue of mine was getting ready to begin her class when she noticed a girl sitting in the front row nodding her head rather quickly in the direction of the pencil sharpener with a painful look on her face. So the instructor glanced at the pencil sharpener where she saw a guy sharpening his pencil. Then she noticed that a rather straight cut had been made across the back of his pants and partically down the side; so he had a nice flap. However, he wasn't wearing anything besides his pants! Not a sight she was excited to see. She always begins class with group work, so she waited until everyone was involved in the work and went over to him and said, "I don't suppose you've felt a breeze lately?" To which he replied, "Yeah, do you like it?"

Hmmm... what are you suposed to do in that situation??? Those college classes don't prepare you for that! What makes the story so much more interesting is to learn that his name is that of a Star Wars character! (and it is not Hans or Luke!)
