I Should Update More

When I started this blog I really had hopes of adding interesting stores, my experiences, and feelings. Unfortunately it didn’t really end up working out that way. A lot of that is that I work in different classes all the time and I don’t feel the inspiration to write things down.

But, I should. At least now and in the next semester, since I might not be working as a teacher for much longer.

Today I’ll add a little note on one student from a class I’ve been working in for several days while the teacher has been home caring for her son.

This little boy, a petite guy – we’ll call him Spiky, is, well, somewhere between adorable and annoying. He doesn’t pay much attention and takes longer than anyone to get his work done. He frustrates me because he is capable, but he doesn’t put in the effort to do his best. Lazy might be the best word.

But every now and then he’ll stop and say “Ms L. You are beautiful!!’ How can you be mad at that?

There are two girls in the class who are quite petite. they are both Asian (I think one Vietnamese, the other Thai) who are quite cute. Spiky will comment on their cuteness. As we were lined up to go home this afternoon he says: “Ms L! Aren’t T & V SOOO cute?” The girls just giggled at him.
