Y'know what's weird? When a stranger comes up to at some random place like the grocery store and says, "Hi, Ms. ________." (I don't use my name in this blog). This leaves me in an awkward position because I can tell by the greeting that the person is a former student, but I have NO idea who they are because I haven't seen them in god-knows-how-many years. So then I just stare at them and try to figure out who the hell they are and how long ago I may have taught them. They finally take mercy on me and tell me. Then I fall into shock because the little dimpled boy I remember now has facial hair and piercings. (Not that there's anything wrong with that!)
It's scary to think that the first students I ever taught (4th graders) are now college-age. They're able to vote! Hopefully they've learned a bit more since the last time I saw them, because if they haven't, you definitely do NOT want these people voting. ( :
About This Blog
- Simona
- Chicago, IL, United States
- This blog WAS dedicated to regaling some of the funny, annoying, wonderful, stressful, silly, and everyday things that occur in my classroom and school, and sometimes my civilian life, but now that I'm not working until September 2009 since I'm a mom, I'll probably obsess about some of that stuff, too. Hence the name of this blog has at least been temporarily changed from "One Plus One" to "One Plus One Plus One." Get it?
