Today I was telling my class how amazing they are. I was going on about how responsible they've shown me they can be, and how I'll be able to do more with them because they're such a capable class, and on and on with stuff teacher's say. I was hoping they would respond to this authentic affirmation with beaming smiles of pride. One kid raised his hand. I called on him, expecting some request like "So will we be able to go on cooler field trips and do fun stuff in class?"
What he said was, "So will you buy us cheap Chinese toys from those crappy catalogs that teacher's always get in the mail?"
Oh! So that's what kids want.
