One of my roommates in going to be a math teacher and is currently observing in a local school. Today she had this wonderful little story to share:
Sometime in the course of the lecture a student speaks up in class and the following progression occurs.
Student - "I just got a beta fish over the weekend and I decided to name it Alpha"
Teacher - "Hmmm interesting. A beta fish named Alpha"
Roommate (when retelling the story) - "The student obviously didn't know or get that Beta is also a Greek letter, but it's obviously he named his fish Alpha because of the class and the fact that the letter/symbol looks like a fish."
