College Prep

If I was going to teach a college prep course, on the first day I would call one student to the front of the class, hold up a giant hoop, and have him jump through. When he got to the other side I would ask him to jump back, repeating this request over and over until he became out of breath. I would then give my congratulations and ask if he would like to attend grad school -- a flaming hoop hanging over a tank of piranhas.
