I'm now reading my students' worksheets on the presentations they heard the Monday before Thanksgiving.

One student, in response to Bufano's Statue of the Guns (the ones purportedly turned in to Mayor Alioto after the assassinations of MLK and Robert Kennedy), wrote for "What's special about this work of art?" wrote "It's about gum control."
That reminds me of a student I have in my ESL 132 class who will not take out his gum. He continues to hold it in his mouth and chew even after I ask him to take it out. He's an older student, and I wonder how persistent I should be. Clearly he doesn't believe in gum control.
