I have to say that I have really enjoyed your wit in class. It is an interesting thing… and very in contrast to the stodgy GW surroundings. I look at the examples you have above and rather than thinking, “That poor kid,” I think, “Dern, wish I’d thought of that answer.” I did have one example of a “reflection sheet” on my office wall for a while done by a 9-year old student who had acted badly by throwing a basketball at close range into the face of a girl. It read,
“Things I can do to prevent this behavior from happening again.
1. Keep my hands to myself.
2. Quit touching girls and balls.”
I loved that kid. He has gone on to win several prestigious essay awards in his high school. Yep, he can write. Wish I’d had more creative methods of expression in place back then for “different thinkers” like him (and me) to express ourselves. Man, the things that might cover my walls now.
