Some of my students from last year came back to pay me a visit. "How are the sixth graders this year?" they wanted to know.
"Oh they're really nice," I answered.
"But not as nice as we were, right?"
"Oh, they're pretty nice," I said, and they looked disappointed. "But I can promise you this," I added. "I don't have one single class that is quite as exciting as yours was."
They took it as a compliment.
