Stuff I've learned teaching, counseling and working with teens. Teaching influences us outside of class and outside of class influences teaching. Our life experiences and our students' life experiences all come together so no two classes are ever the same.
One day six weeks into silent reading . . .
When I say to finish the sentence time is up, I hear "NO! NO! NO!"
I look up and ask, “What?”
He says it's not fair and he has to know what happens. (He had opened to a random page in a random book and gotten drawn into the story.)
I smiled and said, "Welcome to our world. Yes, read and see what happens."
A few minutes later he joined us in the assignment.
