Fellow Teachers...

I've been waiting all day to share this...

So I'm sitting with my group of third-graders as we grooved through our End Of The Year Assessment.

In discussing the armed aggression in Africa, a kid raised his hand.

Being called upon, the boy looked at me and said,

"I think you'd be an excellent Jedi. Yoda, Even."

Sure it was as random as hell, unrelated and totally off task... but it was also the BEST complement I think I've ever received. And I'm pretty sure no other complement in my future will ever compare.

Fellow teachers: May the Force be with you!

It seems with me it is, yes?
