Alright, so follow my train of thought in my poorly constructed metaphor. At the zoo there are animals who they have that 20' foot ravine separating them from the onlookers; there are the animals who sleep all day and no matter how many gummy bears you throw at them they don't move and there are the animals that swing from limb to limb and wreak havoc all over their living quarters. Well, my 4th hour class is the zoo. Today I got a new sleeper. She looked like "Zack" when they dressed up the skeleton in detention so he could make it to the Max. Let me set the scene for you: today is her first day in class, she walks in, doesn't introduce herself, sits down and for the remainder of the period puts her head on the desk and sleeps. As I now recognize the top of many of my "sleepers" heads, I gently poked the shoulder and asked her who in the world she was. I got a half-assed name, no eye-contact and a "I'm tired, I'm just going to sleep." As I was about to give up on the educational system, I took a step back, dug into my sno-cone and watched the ritual head-butting.
Lesson learned: Don't feed the animals.
