dollars and some sense
You’d think— just maybe– that having one kid get up and angrily walk out on you in the middle of class would not make you feel so worthless. It could have been due to a communication problem (the actual reason why is still under investigaton, should find out by 7th period) but I should not have taken it so hard. If students were pennies, then I have about 6 bucks worth of change in my pocket. When I lose a penny, I don’t worry too much because hey, I still have $5.99 left, not to mention that buck-fifty worth of kindergarteners down the street. But students are not pocket change, and despite the admiration from a few hundred other happy human beings, I have been a sucker and let one kid’s troubles bring me down.
Damn.
Update>>> Whatever. It all worked out. I am going to buy a camera tomorrow and lots film. Going to feel better then after I shoot a few rolls.
