A student today was in the mood for relaxing. However, you're not allowed to rest your feet on chairs in my class (think of the gum and stuff that's stepped in).
So, to be sly, he decided he'd slip his foot through the hole in the back of the chair, so he wouldn't have to turn it sideways and get caught.
It worked great...until it was time to sharpen his pencil. He couldn't get his foot out. It was stuck for a few moments, long enough that I asked if I should call the fire department.
About ten minutes later he decided to argue about 8 - 2 + 1 being 5, not 7. Some students began to agree with him...until I reminded them that he couldn't figure out how to extract his foot from a chair. What a, as we say in the business, "learning moment."
