The Joys of Teaching

Me: Okay, break over- we need to go back to practicing your major scales.
5th grade clarinet student: Ick! I hate scales!
Me: I thought you liked scales?
5th grade clarinet student: Scales are only fun if you are sure of them.
Me: How do you think you get sure of them- it doesn't happen magically!
5th grade clarinet student: WHAT?! It doesn't?! This is a rip off!
Me: *long, exasperated sigh*
