First, the backstory: In my school, if you misbehave or earn a grade below a C- in any class, you lose your privileges. This means that you cannot go out to lunch or sign out of study halls. Your name is on a list and the entire faculty has a copy of it.
So I'm teaching U.S. History on Friday and we've been talking about the Cold War and nuclear weapons. A student in the class asks which countries have nuclear weapons. I began to identify the countries with nucs and the following conversation unfolds
T: Does Germany have nuclear weapons?
Me: Well no.
T: Why?
J-P: Because they lost their privileges.
Laughter ensues.
I love these kids.
