College-Teachers-Worst-Student-Stories
I worked with students in a class that was supposed to prepare them for real life. Things like making resumes, finance, etc. Part of the class was job interviews. One of the stress questions often asked in interviews is, "What's your biggest weakness?" I always told the students to have something prepared for that because the only wrong answer is, "I don't have any weaknesses." So I'm doing mock interviews and I get to this guy and throw out that question. Without missing a beat, he says, "I steal sometimes." I now tell my students that there are two wrong answers.
