great moments...
Leroy: (trying to get out of adding fractions) Miss, have you seen any good movies lately?
me: Leroy, please do your work.
Leroy: What about sports? You been watching any sports lately?
me: No, Leroy. I've been too busy making up lesson plans for you.
Leroy: Whoa! You put a lot of work into this, Miss. Why are you doing this? It seems like a lot of work.
me: I'm doing this b/c I like you guys and I want you to be able to do math.
Leroy and Jaelyn: (open mouthed stare)!!!!
i guess they... never realized that i'm not doing this to punish them, but b/c i care about them and i want them to know how to do math and to be better at reading so they can eventually go to college, if they want to. what a revelation!
