This conversation happened between my co-teacher and a student who was trying to leave my reading class. *edited for a PG rating
Teacher- "Why are you always so antsy at this time of the day?"
Student- "I'm not antsy, I just want to go home."
Teacher- "I'm going to ask you a serious question. Seems like the pot you smoke in the morning wears off everyday at about this time, is that true?"
Student- "Who told you I smoke in the morning?
Teacher- "Well do you?"
Student- "Yes, not as much as I want to though."
That's the extent of the conversation I heard.... I never thought I'd be able to read a book out loud while simultaneously ease dropping on a conversation happening across the room. Oh the skills I'm learning from this job.

Today I had a conversation with one of my old students about several of the kids I worked with at Whole Person Learning. The three we talked about were either in jail, deeply into their drug and alcohol addiction and none of them were working. Of course they all had 2 or 3 children! Oh, one was a retired Porn star. You ran with Jared, her brother. Whew--I guess with an update like that it is called job security for alternative ed teachers. Hopefully, they are slow bloomers! Really slow! :)
