I was 'schooled' today by a student! It really cracked me up.
The set-up:
I have fidgets (pully-squishy toys) in class. Near the beginning of the period, I saw a student put their mouth on the fidget. I mentioned to the entire class that I will take them if they put it on their mouth. Because, quite frankly, it's gross.
The schooling of Ms. Gamleah!
Later in the hour, the student next to 'earlier said student' put the fidget on their mouth and blew up the fidget just like you would a balloon. /sigh... So I said... "You guys, I did ask you not to put your mouth on those."
Student A (first student of mouth touching fidget crime) said... "You guys? So now we are a singular being?" LOLOLOL
As any good teacher does, reflection!
I swear it took everything I had not to drop there and die laughing. Yes, actually student A, I did make you a single being, how very insightful you are!
... I was schooled!
Love my students!
