It isn't all sunshine and roses...

Some years, I teach about MLK, and there is this lovely two-week (roughly) period where the kids really are a little extra-kind to each other

Lori, you have the most patience of any person I know, you should be sainted, seriously.

[indigodove]

You are so kind. I don't know about sainted. Saints don't tell kids "If you talk out again I'm duct taping your mouth shut." I did that this week. :-)

I did point out I was kidding.

I did point out I was kidding.

Well, that was your mistake. You have to keep them wondering. Maybe bring in half a roll of duct tape and leave it poking out from behind something else on your desk, too. (Half a roll is important; it has to be clear you've already used some.)

Oh, it was pretty intentional. They aren't so bad I can't laugh at them...and me!

We'll see what I'm saying in April or May. :-)

And thanks!
