On Seating Segregation....

Me: (as students are sitting down at the beginning of class) "Wow. How many times do I have to tell you people to mix in boys with girls?"

Guy: "We don't like sitting by them."

Me: "Why?"

Guy: "Because they're not friendly."

Me: "Because they don't talk to you during class, you mean."

Guy: "Yeah, they're conversation killers. I mean, you can say something like 'Hey, how's it going?' and they totally just ignore you."

Me: "Maris and Emily, why don't you go sit next to Guy? He clearly needs to be surrounded by positive female influences."

Guy: "What? Nooooo."

Emily: "Is this really fair? Now Maris and I are being punished when we didn't do anything wrong."

Me: "I'm sorry."

Guy: (sudden realization hits) "Hey."
