I assist with an 11th grade History class at the school I work at and the other day we were discussing the Great Depression. The teacher asked the students to write a paragraph on what they would have done during the depression. It was an open ended question and the students approached it from many different ways. We had one student who talked about starting a personal fianance class to help people manager their money better. When another student was asked what he put down, he said rob, steal, and kill (jokingly, of course). When the first student started heckling him about his answer, he looked at his friend and said I guarantee you my way would work better than yours.
