school counsellor: *Gives my class self-esteem evaluation tests*
my class: *Fills them in*
my class: *Calculates scores*
school counsellor: So, did anyone get over ninety out of a hundred?
no one: *Puts up hand*
school counsellor: Did anyone get over eighty?
two people: *Puts up hand*
school counsellor: Did anyone get under sevemty?
rest of the class: *Puts up hand*
school counsellor: Ugh, if I gave this test to American students (we're Irish by the way) they'd be bound to get one hundred! Your parents don't praise you enough! I wish I had American students!
me: So, you're putting us down to get higher self-esteem? Nice.
