I just saw this on somebody else's site -- it's perfect. I must store it for future amusement.
The standard student culture is to attend class, and either pay attention or doodle or daydream or sleep. They sit in the front, the middle, the rear of the class.
Counter-culture is the students who pipe up often, are super-attentive, make jokes to the teacher/professor often. One of my friends does this, and I told him to limit himself to one joke a day.
Counter-counter-culture are the students sitting in the back, quietly making jokes about the students in the front.
Counter-counter-counter-culture are the students sitting in the back, shaking their heads at the 'smarter' students in the back row, and shaking their heads at the awful jokes and/or questions from the front row.
Counter-counter-counter-counter-culture students don't attend class.
Counter-counter-counter-counter-counter-culture students are indistinguishable from standard students (see the first item).
