Favorite quote of the day
I realize I have a lot of catch up to do… I also realize all I blog about lately is teaching… but I can’t resist quickly getting this into the blog world and teaching consumes a great deal of my time these days. I am student teaching in high school now and one of my students said one of the sweetest things today.
Andrew is about 6’1”, 250lbs, and quite possibly the nicest boy in our class. He is polite, sincere, and concerned for the well being of others. Today, Andrew walked in the classroom where some of us were talking to Ean’s parents. Ean (pronounced Ian) is another student in our class. When andrew came in, the scene went a little bit like this:
Teacher: “Hi Andrew, these are Ean’s parents”
Andrew: reaches out hand to shake Ean’s father’s hand “Hello, Mr. Ean, Mrs. Ean” and shakes their hands. “Pleased to meet you” he says.
As serious as can be and without a clue that he had made my day. Oh the joy these students bring!
