A funny story you all might appreciate...

I'm teaching Ancient Greece right now in Social Studies and to start class off I was reviewing what we'd covered over the past few days. The conversation went something like this:

me: Alexander the Great was from where?

student: Masa--Misa--mmmm

another student: Macedonia

Me: yes! Macedonia. And who was the famous Athenian tutor his father hired to teach him when he was young?

VERY enthusiastic student: Aeropostale!!

Me: (chuckles) VERY close, but it's Aristotle! Kinda sounds like Aeropostale, but slightly more Greek.
