The best thing said during the first half-day of school...

Class is dead silent and staring at me like a group of zombies.

Me: Are you tired, or is it something I said?

Student: It's not personal. I just don't want to be here right now.

Me: If we can do anything to help you want to be here, let me know.

Student: I'll make a list and get back to you.
