This is hilarious! I'm going to have to send the link to some of my teacher friends - and maybe buy a copy of your book for myself. (What a great way to promote the book.)

students like Esteban crack me up. They want to show how smart they are and in the meantime, their classmates are rolling their eyes. Sadly I know too many adult Estebans . . .
