Student: "Mrs. A, we should watch the movie, Pitch Perfect, during our unit on World War II."
Me: "How does that have any relevance to the war's historical content?"
Student: "How does it not?"
Me: "Ok, if you can give me just one legitimate reason to watch the movie, I will consider it."
(student thinking for a few moments)
Student: "I'VE GOT IT!! They talk in British accents in the movie!!! That is totally historical."
Me: "No."
Student (in British accent): "Ok, in the movie, they say things like, 'my name is Fat Amy'....."
(me staring at the student)
Student (in regular accent): "There was an Amy alive during World War II. I'm sure of it. Some Amy that was important. Maybe she was even fat. Boom! Relevant!...Don't worry, Mrs. A. I have the movie. You don't even have to rent it."
Me: "Still no."
