I work in a public school. I believe in the school system and the possibilities for relationship, for significant connection between caring adults and the children enrolled in the school. This forms a complex and fascinating web.
I invite you to consider with me the following conversation as an exemplar, if you will, of the rich and often confusing interactions in my life as an educator. It is nearly 9 am, outside the school, as I greet two of my eighth grade male students:
Me: Hey dudes.
One of them: [briefly turning head toward me] Hey guy.
I was laughing to myself as they rounded the corner. I wanted to share the moment with you too.
