One thing about going to a public school that makes it so much more fun than homeschool is that you meet all kinds of intelligent people. For instance, there are all manner of people, besides myself, who carry pens in their pockets. Why, everyone knows that engineers are among the few people groups who do that, and everyone knows that engineers will one day rule the world because they will be the only ones qualified to even start a toaster oven.

And my Spanish class is made up of many very smart people who love the language, and understand it.
Here's a script for my Spanish class, using common quotes:

Act one:

Setting: An average sized classroom. A Hispanic teacher is at the front of the room, expaining the geography of Costa Rica. The class is talking, as always, and trying as hard as possible to not think of the Spanish language:

Nick: "I had a 10 percent on the first Spanish test, a 20 on the second, and just now, I got a 40. I'm going up!"

Laughter by all but Nick.

Nick: I don't get it, what's so funny?

Nick: "You can tell that I'm doing better - I haven't slept during class in two weeks!"

Laughter by all but Nick.

Student 1: "Quiet, Kevin's asleep!"

Student 2: "Oh, gross, he's drooling!"

Act Two:

Setting: The classroom is set up as before, except all of the students are taking a true and false test on vocabulary used in a Costa Rican natural reserve, and all are silently regretting not listening to Mrs. Stevens expaining what a quetzal is.

Nick: "Mrs. Stevens, can you tell me if there are more true answers, or false ones? Well, I don't know any of these words!"

Mrs. Stevens: "Nick, why aren't you taking French?"

Nick: "French is hard."

Laughter by all but Nick.

Nick: "I don't get it, what's so funny?"

Nick: "Hey, I have all of the verb conjugations down."

Laughter by all but Nick.

Nick {Continuing himself}: "Mostly"

Oh, yes. The students at my school are quite intelligent. Well, Spanish may not be their best subject, but they are wise businessmen. For instance, this afternoon, a kid sitting behind me on the bus, being a royal pain, offered to pay me $20 to see my straight-A report card because he had never seen one before.
