So I'm taking "The Exceptional Child". I'm working on my Elementary Certification (which I hope doesn't include spelling). Tonight was the last night of class.
I go to an extension campus which means that our school is in an office building. When the school moved to a new office park a few months ago, they installed these neat AV systems in each room. You can project the computer on the board at the front, or there is a little camera off to the side that you put a page or a book under and it projects it onto the screen (like an opaque projector). Its hooked in with a VCR and a DVD. It's some high tech integrated system that has digital controls up on the wall.
Apparently when they were installing it, they screwed something up in my classroom and the next classroom down the hall. These two systems got intermingled. Every once in a while we'll be sitting there and all of a sudden the class next to us will start playing a movie. The sound for their movie will come blaring out of the speakers on the ceiling. Then we have to send someone over to have them turn it down. Whenever we start a movie, we have to send someone over to make sure that its not too loud in their room. They can't disconnect it, so all they can do is turn it down. We have to go through an hour of lecture while we're listening to some movie from the next room.
Tonight we found out that not only the sound systems are linked together, but apparently so are the projectors. As we're sitting there listening to to the teacher, the projector turns on. We start seeing a computer screen with the mouse moving around. It pulls up some media player. The media player opens up and a movie starts. At this point we can pretty much tune everything out because we've been having class with a sound track in the background for the last 7 weeks. But now, there were a few snickers around the room and a few whispers. When I heard them, I looked up and saw the movie.
Oh, that's right. The class next door is Human Sexuality. I guess that would explain the title of the movie... "American Porn".
I've never seen a little old lady with a limp run so fast- trying to get next door to have them turn off the porn!!
