Our Impact on Kids is Enormous.

I was helping out in my colleague’s 7th grade LA class today and she was sick. She was there, but super stuffy and drawn. Instead of begging for mercy (which I can tell you NEVER works!), she just took everything down to her level. She spoke softly and slowly, waited for kids to settle down and listen. Honesty, I didn’t think it would work. It’s a rowdy class. But it worked amazingly! The kids listened. They met her. They were more engaged than I’ve ever seen them. After class I said to her “Wow! That was quite a lesson for me. I’m always over-efforting to get their attention, and look what you did by being quite and mellow.” I feel so grateful for the chance to learn from this lady!
