"Do you know Ms. W?" a student asked the other morning in homeroom. "She's my testing teacher and I want to know if she's nice."
"Oh, yes!" I answered. "I know her well! She's very nice."
"I don't know if I can believe you," the student replied doubtfully.
I tried not to be offended. "Why not? Don't you trust my judgment?" I asked, wondering why she had bothered to ask me at all.
"It's not that!" she said. "It's just that, now that I think about it, you're cool with everyone!" She shook her head. "I'm definitely not that chill."
"First of all, thanks," I laughed. "I'll take that as a compliment. But also, don't worry-- Ms. W. really is nice!"
