Now. .I will share this with you...In the summer of 1969 a year into my teaching career...I took a day out from U.S. History that I had for the first time, and enjoyed teaching that..to teach something called.....................bait and switch from Consumer Reports..

There was some question as to whether or not that was...let's say...part of U.S. History.. but I did it. Most of the kids liked it but I had a couple of wise ass girls..who protested in the room that they wanted..U.S. History, and not "bait and switch" ...It was peacefull..they took 2 minutes and carried U.S. Flags around the room..that was it..
I kinda laugh now..Those wise off girls are now 60 years old. ?????????????????....do you suppose they ever came across bait and switch in their lives???
