A new teacher is sitting with her 6th grade class for the first time. Naturally, she’s keen to apply all the techniques she’s learned in her teacher training, and in particular, she’s keen to use what she’s learned in her psychology class. She stands in front of her class and says, “Right children, everyone who thinks they’re stupid, please stand up.” Well, for a few minutes there’s silence and no one stands up. However, just then Little Johnny bravely gets to his feet. The teacher smiles and says, “Do you think you’re stupid, Johnny?” “No mam,” Johnny responded, “but it’s not fair, you standing there all on your own.”
