I played a little soft jazz for my students this week as they circulated through the class sharing ideas for their next writing pieces. It was what I happened to have on play on my phone, and I figured it was unobjectionable enough.
I never would have predicted how popular it would be! In fact yesterday, at our voluntary, after-school study hall, which we call "homework club", several students requested that I put it on.
"It's so relaxing," said one.
"Yeah," added another, "we should call this the homework cafe!"
And indeed, they sat scattered around tables and in easy chairs, with books and lap tops, working diligently.
Heck! I was tempted to start serving warm drinks!
