Teachers Are Sharing The Moment Their Students Made Them Think, "Yep, I'm Officially Old"

I gave them permission to play it since we were near the end of the period, and everyone was just finishing up their last tasks. I was expecting them to play something by The Beatles or Queen, or whatever else, so I was absolutely stunned when they started playing 'Closer' by The Chainsmokers. Huh?!?" -Ryan, California
