i have given my students another possibility for extra credit: a jheri curl. that's right. give yourself a jheri curl and you've got extra credit. where did this idea come from? well...during my friday "lunch with dr. larson," i learned that one of my students (tim) has recently been combing his hair with a pencil and is trying to grow it out all curly-like. i asked him if he was growing it like an afro... or a jheri curl and he and another student (matt) started laughing super hard. i then said that if either of them grew a jheri curl i would for sure give them extra credit. especially if it was really shiny. simon, also there for lunch, said that he would not grow a jheri curl. i told him he couldn't because he's white. he then said he wouldn't grow one anyway. i told them if he could grow anything it would be a jew-fro because he's Jewish and has curly hair. i thought matt and tim were going to fall out of their desks.
