When parents speak for their kids during student-parent-teacher conferences
When a student looks through a class list of names
When it’s finally Christmas break
When students misbehave and we don’t have time for fun and games before the break
They’re like:
When I’m in the middle of helping a student and another student feels ignored
When I have to go to extremes to convince kids to do their work
When the principal visits my class during a weird time and a student tells him what we’re really doing
I’m like:
When kids are going crazy before Christmas break
When I tell students to start fresh and forget about drama
When I try to remind students that the internet is forever
