Not long after school started, a new student joined one of my classes. She had not yet had the chance to purchase a uniform. For a week she came into class sporting clothes in her own unique style while the rest of the class donned the regular uniform… until today.
I laughed when one of the students noticed and said in a lifeless voice, “You are one of US now.”
Moral: Studies show that uniforms enhance learning. No studies show that uniforms enhance the feeling that you are a part of a creepy cult…yet.
Story 2:
One of my students is forever tired. Every morning it’s the same: he comes into my class, sits down, and then falls asleep on his desk until the bell rings and class starts. I pass him in the hall and he yawns. His name even sounds like the word “Yawn.”
One morning I needed a model for class and asked for a volunteer. No one wanted to be a model. Then, I decided it was time to utilize my sneaky emergency plan.
I held up a blanket and pillow, “this will be for a longer pose, so whoever wants to do it gets to lie down.”
Yawn, expression unchanging, turned around slowly, and rose his hand.
I smiled a crooked smile.
Moral: There is always a way to use the shortcomings of others’ to your advantage.
