"Jeez...kids these days."

I'm a history teacher. In an attempt to get to know my students better, I ask them a quick question each day as I take roll. This past week, I borrowed one of the questions from our forum, here. I asked my students, "If you could invite anyone to dinner (living or dead), who would you invite?" (Yes, the original question was "for drinks," I believe...but, they're seventh graders.) Anyway, I thought I'd share a few of the responses that were music artists: Jimi Hendrix (4 students chose him) Jimmy Page John Lennon (6 students) Paul McCartney (2 students) Janis Joplin Michael Jackson (3 students) Janet Jackson Eric Clapton (2 students) Kirk Hammett Neil Peart Trent Reznor (2 students) Carrie Underwood Jennifer Nettles Keith Moon Katy Perry Taylor Swift Ozzy Osbourne (3 students) Kurt Cobain (2 students) Faith Hill Drake Lil' Wayne (2 students) ...and I even got one Frank Zappa! Out of my 91 students, over 40% of them chose a music artist as the person they'd most like to meet! What I found especially fascinating was how many of them chose artists who aren't exactly on the charts right now...and how many of them chose artists who are dead. Not just dead...but 30 and 40 years dead. It's funny how many of the artists chosen would have been on my list as a 7th grader, too. I just thought it was very interesting and I wanted to share the results of my little "experiment." :D
