So we're having Grad Exams at school this week and I was put on the Hospitality Committee, meaning I helped feed the entire faculty and staff breakfast and lunch every day. Tasks included: picking up breakfast every morning at 6:15 am and helping pick up huge trays of lunch.
So today, the students finished very early and administration sent them to their 2nd block class, but I was still at Wal-Mart picking up lunch (40 pounds of fried catfish, thank you).
I literally sprint to my portable when I get back, knowing that 31 high school students have been unsupervised for 20 minutes and didn't know where their teacher was. Thinking back to my West Point days, I was wondering if they had set any fires, stolen something, or just LEFT class altogether.
But no. To my huge surprise, I opened the door to find every student sitting in their seat, and doing the bellwork on the board. WHAT? Are they ZOMBIES? I guess the good Lord just knew I could use some good kids this semester because I teach all ANGELS. It will never be this good again, I'm sure. I just couldn't believe they were unsupervised and were doing their WORK!
