I usually keep it together when a student does something silly-not always, but usually.
Today, was not one of those days.
A student that typically has issues staying in line, “one right behind the other”, as I always tell them, was not walking in line again at the end of the day –GO FIGURE!
I went to remind him when -BAM-! He slammed into a locker because not only was he not in line, but he wasn’t looking where he was going!
And then came out the laugh that I could NOT hold in! He was chuckling too and so were his classmates. Whoops!
I followed up with, “That’s why we walk right behind the other, right _____?!” Ha ha!!
Luckily, I have developed a very close relationship with my students, so I know which students can handle sarcasm and laugh at mistakes; he was one of those students.
I hope he learned his lesson. It’s unfortunate that it had to be the hard way… literally!

Sometimes the best lessons learned are the hard ones. I hate when my daughter has to learn things the hard way, but sometimes those are the ones that stick.

Ugh. I feel the same! Although this was a silly one, I’ve had to watch my students and niece endure difficult hardships to learn from them. It’s painful, but often necessary.

Sometimes it is hard not to laugh and other times, we just have to learn the hard way! Glad there was no big mishaps and it was a memorable moment.
