I am pleased that in my fantasy course I have the kind of students to whom, when writing feedback, I can use the word "apocryphal". OK, they may not know it, but if they don't, I know they'll look it up, bless 'em.
The kind of people who think teachers have it easy because all they have to do is talk to kids for a few hours a day probably think Madonna has it easy because she just sings a few songs and dances around a bit.
