Not so common

Sadly this is very true. Common sense is definitely not common (and it starts young). Take my students for example... The temperatures have been in the 80's this week. Shorts and t-shirt weather for sure. However, my students are still wearing long pants and hooded sweatshirts. These same students complain daily they are hot. I look at them with a dumbfounded look on my face. How can these kids look at me with a straight face as they perspire wearing a sweatshirt, and not know how to remedy the problem. It takes everything within me not to shout, "TAKE OF THE FLIPPIN' SWEATSHIRT!!!!!!!!". If you're hot, and you're wearing a sweatshirt, common sense dictates you remove all unnecessary clothing for starters. Common sense!
