So, I haven't done much blogging lately because I started my long-term substitute job, and it turns out working almost full-time and having a baby doesn't leave much time (or, perhaps more importantly, energy) for blogging. But I am teaching at a school for profoundly gifted students, and I had an experience the other day that sort of summarized the culture I am in. In a lot of ways these kids are just typical kids, but they are also very smart, and sometimes I overhear things that remind of that.
The other day we learned the word for "kiss-up" in class, and someone asked if the word meant "brown-noser."
"Sí," I said.
"What's a brown-noser?" asked a different kid.
"A sycophant," explained another.
"Ah, okay."
All was explained.
Oh, boy!
ReplyDeleteI love those kids!
