obviously i can't tell you the student's name or the school
i work for, but i have to tell you this story...i'm sure i'll be
in the confessional telling a priest something like,"
"no father, no sins to talk about...but i've got this story i'm
telling everyone about, it's hysterical..."
so there's this kid that i teach in high school PE, i had just
finished with him in my high-school-final exam--which in
short meant "please play football today without complaining".
his nature is antagonistic. almost everyone in the class has
had to do a 'mediation' with him. some have been pulled aside
so they don't end up suspended from their collective desire to
punch the crap out of him. worse still is that he's a bit of a school
athlete, so at some point down the line the learning curve will
stop and people will just be forced to deal with him. he'll start to
have a fan club, maybe enjoy some university level stardum, etc...
for the purpose of personalizing this, lets make up a name for him.
i'll call him "Fecal" based on his most striking personality discriptive.
so Fecal sees a girl he has a crush on, and because he has the maturity
level of 'beans on toast', he insults her rather than run the risk of
being liked--which would make entirely too much sense. i haven't tried to fix
this problem because the outcomes from these tender beans-on-toast
moments are for the best. today was no exception.
the girl's 7 year old sister was in ear-shot of his latest communication
failure...she walked up, fluidly and with no hesitation or warning, and
gave one of the best shin kicks i've seen in ages. i've been smiling and
laughing so much, rigamortis has set in to my cheek muscles and i
permenantly look like the joker from batman. even though i have much
to do, and am largely stressed out--my cheek muscles are frozen in the
up position like some mad hatter on meta-ampheds.
i wish i had the vid footage.
all i could do was say, "now Fecal, what did you learn about speaking when
family members are about?" i then shook the little girls hand and said it was
nice meeting her, and proceded to tell the entire school, one teacher at a time.
