What I’ve Always Suspected They Thought

An enlightening exchange with my students after I asked them to stop bashing another teacher while in my class:
Them: “Why?”
Me: “Because you shouldn’t talk badly about a person, especially when that person isn’t there to defend himself.”
Them: “But this is a teacher.”
Me: “Teachers are people too.”
Them: “But they’re not like us.”
Me: “What do you think we are, robots?”
Them: “Well no, but they’re not our friends, so it’s not like we care about them or anything.”
Me: Evil stare.
