Highbrow? Hardly...
An encounter with a learner (the charming term they use here for a pupil) during a lesson today:
she raises her hand, and I make my way to her through the somewhat crowded classroom.
"Yes? How can I help?"
"Please sir, this is not Drama-related, but your eyebrows are rather long. How long are they?"
"Do you know, I have no idea."
