Classroom Note

I found a piece of paper in my library today. It had Arabic text handwritten on one side and a list of words in English on the other. Evidently the new vocabulary was learned from the film we watched last night, the Interrupters. I am secretly happy it was left it behind so that whoever it was won’t memorize these words:

• Press
• Substance abuse
• Haircut
• Fucking problem
• Defensive
• Affiliated
• Harassed
• Immerse yourself
• Butcher knife
• Gangster
• He tumbled over
• Soft spot
• Conceived
• Lieutenant
• Fuck the man
• Retaliation
• My honeycomb
• Decent time
• The interrupters
• Grievance
• Punk

Hopefully the students took away other lessons from the film besides this list of the worst possible words.
