"That's what she said!" a student blurted across the room yesterday when one of his classmates said that something was "painful".
I asked the jokester to step outside so we could discuss his brand of humor. Our conversation did not take long: I knew just what to say to move him from feigned innocence to admitting his mistake and promising to avoid such shenanigans in the future, and we were both back in the classroom before many people even noticed we were gone.
But I must admit, I sure did not miss that part of teaching middle school when we were virtual.
