One of my students brought in a current event article entitled, "Weed Dating." It was too funny not to share.
Apparently in Vermont, they are doing a spin-off of speed dating, where instead of sitting face to face and interviewing potential interests, you take part in a field of corn. Farmers there are having a hard time meeting a match, so they have decided to get some work done as they get to know one another. Participants weed a row together after partnering up in a crop field. When a bell is rung, they switch partners and do it all over again!
What a way to meet your mate--you would find someone with at least one interest of yours!
On a side note, I love my class. They keep me on my toes, laughing, and suprise me with all sorts of knowledge and insight. It is such a pleasure to teach and learn from them each week.
