Why I Love 6th Graders

Don't get too excited...just read the story!!

I really don't have favorite students.

I mean it.

Teachers really should not have favorite students.

But if I did have favorite students...my favorite students would be the ones that can make me laugh.

So today in my 7th period class....(which means I have been saying and doing the same thing four times already) I was giving a quiz.

So I told the students to complete the quiz and when they finish simply to turn it over on their desks and wait for everyone to finish.

Then I procede to walk around and observe while they are working on the quiz. As I am walking, 3 different students ask what they are supposed to do with the quiz. With each one I get a little more frustrated.

But I told the whole class each time again what to do. So that makes 4 times now.

When the 4th student asked what to do with the quiz, I started to lose it. I tried to breathe in, but I let out a small frustrated scream....

And as I did that, I just happen to be walking by the desk of the student who makes me laugh and I hear, softly, quietly, under his breath....

"Am I seeing a... retirement??"

Oh my goodness is that class lucky to have him in it!!

P.S. I also updated the link to my class website, not that you are interested!
