Re: Funny things teachers/professors have said

McGowan, our robotics mentor, has some great sayings. Very few make sense.

"If you weren't confused, you wouldn't know what's going on!"
--Whenever a student states their confusion

"If you were Japanese, this would be done by now!"
--Micky G loves Asians because he says they're harder workers than us lazy American teens

"Amateurs built the Ark, professionals built the Titanic."
--If you ask for help on your class project

"I'll order you guys pizza if you do it right/finish on time/win an award."
--He owes just about every student he's ever had quite a few pizza parties and the occaisional cupcake

"The parts are being delivered tomorrow."
--When he hasn't ordered them yet.

McGowan has the dirtiest classroom ever (I found petrified food behind one of his desks), and his solution: build a new classroom and demolish the old one. He's also good at sending e-mails that leave out key information such as date, time, or location. But in spite of all of his confusing-ness, he's a pretty awesome teacher (unless you want to learn something).

Church? No, it's not a Red vs Blue reference. It's my name.
