I hac this speech class and we had to recite something from a book and our speach teacher had one vital rule. "No Dr. Suess!"

She said if one more student read recited from him she would fail them.

Apparently he is very popular with students. Considering we were in an collage that primarily for engineers it seems remarkable they would where our poor instructor out with Dr. Suess' verses.

Needless to say I stayed away from him and took something from the Hobbit.

Can't go wrong with Tolkien.

i was never really a huge fan of dr seuss. i dont hate him, but i just never loved his stuff enough to want to buy any of it lol.

if i were in that class, i would so walk up to the front of the room and preface my recitation with "so for my recitation i'm doing green eggs and ham by dr seuss" *just* to see the look on the teacher's face XD then recite like ts eliot or something to watch the scowl on her face lolz

Her natural face was a scowl. I am not kidding. And I enjoy speaking. She made it so difficult with her cold expression.

They're not angry. They're just drawn that way.

Well no you didn't. No excuse to waste a perfectly good "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" reference though.

Hello FREELANCERTEX:

Well if you ever take a speech course at Milwaukee School of Engineering you may just get her. It has been several years, so I do not remember her name. But that face will stay with for a long time.

The math teachers were much more pleasant.

Actually got instructed by the head of the math department. He would attack the chalkboard as he lectured us and always broke the chalk. Then he turn to us and say "We have cheap chalk here", and continue. He was a lot of fun.
