We were going over the handbook.
We talked about the automated message system for important school announcements like snow days and whatnot. I made sure that students understood the importance of making sure the office is informed of any changes in contact information.
Me: So if your phone is disconnected, or your parents get a new cell phone number, or if they decide to get rid of their land line, make sure you inform the office.
Student 1: What's a land line?
I just kind of stopped & looked at her. At first I wasn't sure if she was serious. She was.
Me: Yeah, the kind of phone that is connected to the wall.
Student 2: You know, the kind that stays in the house.
Student 3: Yeah, a home phone.
I picked my jaw up off the floor. Seriously? You don't know what a land line is?
Student 1 gave me a look like I thought she was an idiot or something.
Me: No, this isn't about you. You are just making me feel really old...
