Today, a student asked if we could watch a 3D movie in class. He was kind enough to bring the movie and a pair of "3D glasses". Unfortunately, I had to tell him no. With only one pair of glasses, he would have been the only student who would have been able to watch the movie in yellow...uh, I mean, 3D.
Upon informing him of my decision, he responded with a phrase I've heard all too often throughout my teaching career, "That's not fair."
