Shakespeare

I have spent a lot of time in high schools recently, so it was a bit of a shock to observe at a junior high today. The kids were funny, but very obviously immature. I think high school might be for me. We'll see, though; I still have 6+ months to decide, I guess.
Today in class the students were telling the teacher who they were going to research for a research paper.

Overheard---
Girl 1: Who are you going to do it on?
"Heather": Queen Latifah.
Girl 1: Again?
Heather: Yeah, but I think I'll change it. I think I'll do Shakespeare.
[Interruption: an outline of a Shakespeare's life had been included as an example in the students' research instructions ;) ]
Girl 1 gives Heather a look.
Heather: He was really interesting. We did Romeo and Juliet last year [in elementary school]. I was Juliet. [smiles]
Girl 1: Did you kiss?
Heather: No one kisses in elementary school. We hugged instead of kissed.

HAHAHAHA, gotta love junior high...or get out of it as painlessly as possible, it seems. ;)
