switzerland is for suckers


today i gave my students their first atomic structure lesson. i was going through the parts of the atom and the charges associated with each. so protons are "pro" meaning positive... and then electrons are negative and are in the electron cloud.. and then there's neutrons, which are neutral like switzerland, meaning they don't have any charge. i say this in one of my classes and hear zach (the smoke machine kid/one who got thrown to the ground earlier in the year) mumble "yeah right, like switzerland is neutral." SO AWESOME. twelve and apparently has beef with the swiss.
