Correct. I had a short fiction class in college. Key word: fiction. One
student decided to write a non-fiction article about economics. We had to
read our work in front of the class. Within a minute or so, the prof
realized it was non-fiction, and told him to stop, that he wasn't
following
the assignment. He protested, saying that it was an opinion piece. The
prof
said... in any case, it's not appropriate. End of discussion.


1 - All economics is fiction. :)

2 - I'm sorry, but that's not how it works. You can not tell a middle
school student - sorry, you're full of ****, now pay attention.

I'm really surprized that none of you has come up with the answer.



What are you ranting about? This was a college level class. And, it's
totally appropriate to tell a middle-school student to stop interrupting
with things that are not part of the class. Talk about full of it... look in
the mirror!
