Kids Say the Darndest Things
And so do high school students.
This Monday one of my 10th grade students walked in and said rather proudly, "Guess what I did this weekend, Ms. D?"
He said it with such pride and such a sense of relevancy that I assumed it was something related to my class, or at least to school or academics.
I responded, "What did you do this weekend?"
His response--still proud and confident--left me speechless and completely baffled.
"I shaved my stomach."

A wise saying I came across some years back:{Teacher/Parental covenent} "I promise not to bring up anything your child says about his home if you promise not to bring up anything he says about his class."
