Homework Is God

In my math classes, the daily homework questions are written at the side of the blackboard. Students who sit on the opposite side of the room have trouble seeing what I wrote, and most of them come up closer to copy it down after the lesson. At the beginning, they would just crowd around the board and block the other students' view. Eventually, I mentioned to them to "watch where you're standing, so that you're not blocking the board". All at once, the students got on their knees to duck out of the way. I found this gesture the most hilarious sight I'd seen in a long time! Behold! My students kneeling before the almighty homework assignment.

Since then, the students have done the same after each lesson. I quite enjoy watching this ceremony.
