Children farting in the classroom

I do not know for sure why children fart in the classroom. There could be many reasons but there is one thing I know for sure; they usually fart in the middle of a good lesson. I am not familiar with them farting in the gym class while playing games nor on the playground or during a live football game. Although it may also happen in those places, I have not heard of it and I think the almost universal practice is farting occurs in the classroom. I am, of course, relating to the structured classroom. Apparently that is where the joy lies.

Sometimes a teacher could consider expelling gas an accident wherein I would say, “Some students are still trying to get hold of their sphincter muscles.” and go on with my lesson. However, there are some students that want what could be considered an accident of nature to be deliberately interpreted into the negative. There is always a faint smile on their little ignorant faces giving themselves a round of applause for a job well done. That's what exposes their intent. This is instead of their faces turning red - and yes, you can also tell when Black folks faces turn red- and perhaps burying their faces in their arms on their desk.

As an example, were I to posit the President and his cabinet members as delivering lessons to the American public, I would consider this, Tammy Bruce Calls The Obamas "Trash In The White House" a fart. As another example, I would consider a colleague of David Schuster who, on a show he monitored this early afternoon, making a remark about Michael Steele “tap-dancing” a fart and I must hastily record David Schuster setting the stage for such a trashy response from his un-lady like friend.

Finally, there was the fart heard and smelled around the world, “I hope the President fails!” farted by the master class farter himself, Rush Limbaugh. Now it is you send these farters to the principal’s office and “wah-la!” as quick as you can say “Jack Rabbit” or breath a sigh of fresh air, they are back in your classroom oftentimes, this time, with a blushed-cheek triumphal grin on their little un-socialized faces.

As long as President Obama and his cabinet members deliver good lessons, we will have the class farters. What’sa teacher to do?
As always,

P.S. Many times and outside of the classroom, I have noticed TV commentators encouraging farts from both their audience and their guest. So un-lady like. So un-gentlemanly.
