observation

what i learned today from observing at morton elementary:

when a student answers a question correctly,
the teacher praises him/her and says, "very good! kiss your brain!!"

when students come back from bathroom,
the teacher doesn't ask "did you wash your hands?"
instead they say, "you want a squirt?" [of antibacterial gel]

when a student complains, "why do boys get to go first and not girls?"
teacher responds, "to make sure it's safe!"
[needless to say this was a male teacher...]

day full of goodness i say....day full of goodness.
