Linkety link link!

I have exciting links which must be shared.

First: Super Mario College Hall. It's a dorm hallway decorated to look like, well, Super Mario brothers.

Now I never played Super Mario Brothers - I was a Mario Kart girl - but this hallway is awesome. (I've always liked racing game best. I think it's because of all the exciting scenery.)

Also: Shit My Students Write. Which includes such immortal gems as: The rebel and onion armies showed grose negligence by having many of their battles right inside national parks, like Gettysburg.

And also: At some point in a person’s life, they are a teenager, and every teenager is sure to hold a mug of angst close at hand.

Ah, that warm and frothy mug of angst. It's good with marshmallows!

(None of my tutees ever wrote anything quite as striking as the quotes here. But I did once read a paper wherein the student explained the King Lear illustrated Milgram's ideas about obedience to authority, because people obeyed King Lear, on account of he was king.

I gently suggested that she should at least read the Sparknotes before writing her papers.)

I wonder if these teenagers with mugs of angst have angst tea parties. I feel like there's great Goth potential there.

Mario does hold such a cachet. I don't even know what it is. All my kids love it.

Hmm....New classroom decorations? :)

Not that they would get any work done ever in a Mario-themed classroom.

Lol, truth.

And they would actually try to head-butt the boxes.
