Back to your regular programming.
Back when I was teaching high school physics and math, two girls in the 9th grade were passing a note back and forth. I didn't catch them during class, but whoever had the note last forgot to take it with her. It's just litter, I picked it up, and read some of it. One girl wrote about Coolio's song (I'll paraphrase the lyrics because I can't be arsed to look them up), "One, two, three, four, get your woman on the floor..." being stuck in her head. There was other stuff about what I was presenting. The next day, I mentioned that passing notes back and forth instead of paying attention to the lecture was a sure road to a lower grade. One girl was outraged, "How dare you read our note!?". I told her that anything I find in the classroom is fair game for inspection, and a sure way to not have me read it was not to write it in the first place...or not leave it behind.

If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
