Class Participation

It is typical of adolescent students to either act or to actually be disinterested in whatever is happening in class. In order to circumvent a complete absence of participation, I sometimes will choose "randomly" among students for participants (though I generally call on the most notorious non-participants). One student, N, was apparently not prepared for this inevitable interaction, but knew how to end it quickly:


Mr. F: "N, could you please clap measure 3?"

(silence)

Mr. F: "N, a little louder please."

N: "Whu?"

Mr. F: "Measure 3. Let's go!"

N: "Nah, nah, nah."

Mr. F: "Yes yes yes. Ready and..."

N: "Cuz...you got the wrong n*gga."
