RaShawn

I’m still figuring out this whole regular-blog-schedule thing. For now it looks like I will be posting every weekday (read: Sunday through Thursday nights.) The tricky bit here is that I’ll have to remember something about Friday’s school day on Monday. And fortunately, nothing remarkable really happened on Friday. So in light of that, I will take this moment to share what might be my favorite student moment of all time.

RaShawn had to go to the bathroom, and he asked me to sign his hall pass. He had filled it out; all I needed to do was initial. When he brought it to me, I grabbed the nearest writing implement–in this case, an Expo dry-erase marker–and signed the pass. RaShawn took a moment, silently looking from me to the marker to my signature, and back to me again. “That’s pretty ghetto, Ms. E,” he remarked. “You sure you ain’t got some black in you?”

Oops. Looks like Student of the Day isn’t always going to be PC. But hey, I didn’t say it.
