The one thing I love about my Real Estate Law professor is her ability to control the classroom while keeping a smile on her face.

Yesterday, Eager Beaver, a boy who actively participates in class, was particularly eager to answer Professor E’s questions.

Towards the end of class, Jill was visibly annoyed by Beaver’s participation.

Professor E asked another question to the class. Beaver’s hand shot up. Jill muttered dark threats under her breath and was obviously considering how to make it look like an accident…

Professor E caught Jill’s look of sheer hatred, and then turned to Beaver and said, “You’ve been really good about participating today. How about we give someone else give a chance who hasn’t had the opportunity to speak yet? (then turns to the class) Who wants to speak?”
