This was an actual conversation in my classroom yesterday:
Student: Can I please call my mom?
Teacher: Is it an emergency?
Student: yes
Teacher: what is the emergency?
Student: I was supposed to get my average sheet for science signed and I forgot.
Teacher: Go look up "emergency" in the dictionary. If you were having trouble breathing, were bleeding profusely or losing large quantities of other types of bodily fluids uncontrollably, THAT would be an emergency. And then we call 911.
Student: I'm bleeding on the inside. My heart is hurt because I forgot.
