The Table
Argon said the cutest thing last week. The conversation went
something like this:
GW
Me: Argon, go to your seat please.
Argon: Can I please sit back here? (in reference to the
table next to my desk which used to be where he sat when he was misbehaving)
Me: Why?
Argon: Because I miss sitting next to my teacher.
My heart melted. He always makes me smile. And this is a
student with the total cool dude persona who wouldn’t be caught dead saying something
sweet to a girl but in the next instance, you’ll see him wearing a bright pink
polo shirt. So his comment was unexpected. I hope that next year he gets a
teacher that recognizes and appreciates his unique character.
I’m very glad I reflected on my teaching approach the past
week because I haven’t been irritable since, except for Monday, and I’ve had a
positive opinion about middle school kids in general. I need to make this
positive thinking a part of who I am and how I operate now.
