This never fails to crack me up, like the homework problem is Miley Cyrus and the whiteboard is our Pacific Garden Mall. Or something.
Other classes are even savvier, with smaller groups of friends rotating to one student the responsibility of sending the photo to the others. Digital natives, 21st-century skills, etc.

I even take the time to tag my classmates. Haha.

One of my classes has a student named “Ralph”, and now it’s their thing to call it a “gralphing calculator”. It still doesn’t fail to crack me up.
