Our Reasons Why We Think Thomas Lucero, AP English, Journalism and Drama Teacher is Psychic
1. By forcing us to read The Crucible, he has led us to refer to our friend as ‘Goody’ and accuse her of witchcraft regularly.
2. He always calls on us, (yes even the boys), in class when we are busy thinking about ridiculously good looking British men.
3. He always calls on us in class when we don’t know the answer and doesn’t call on us when we do.
4. He somehow hears the conversations we have at lunch. Cases in point:
- One day we were talking about how we never see teachers outside of school. We mentioned how we have never seen Mr. Lucero outside of school. That same day, one of us saw him three times in one hour!
- Another day we were talking about Wuthering Heights and how everyone in it is evil and are only good because they love. We mentioned how Heathcliff was a victim of madness. The next day, we were given a timed write prompt that asked us to talk about madness in a character in Wuthering Heights or Invisible Man.
- That same day we were talking about how we never got timed write prompts we actually enjoyed responding to. We got the madness prompt and, yes, we enjoyed responding to it.
