Right. So I've had the strangest student stories this year. And today I simply must blog about another student "mishap."
Today I was out on the playground with all of my students, having a battle of the wills with a particularly challenging student. I finally call in the army of people to fight my battle for me (Thanks to the army...) and walk away. A student from last year walks up to me to say hi. I'm pretty exhausted from student v. Mrs. Eckert battle number 672, but still I listen patiently and smile and cheer for the former student as he sings and dances some new little routine he's got going on. It's really rather amusing. Now then. The part that made me need a target tattooed on my forehead...
Student: Hey, let me show you this thing me and my friend do.
Me: Okay. (This was where I went wrong, I recognize that now...)
Student: Okay, low five. (my hand on bottom) Low five again. (his hand on bottom)
AND THEN HE SMACKS ME ACROSS THE FACE.
Did I make myself clear enough there? Yes, a 9 year old reached up and smacked me.
REALLY!? That's the plan?! REALLY?!

Ummm...another candidate for Marine Bombing Range target practice!
So Peter and I just totally had to role play this because I just couldn't believe it. Good grief!
Holy cow. You win. I give up trying to top your stories this year. It just goes to show that yes, elementary school children are craftier and more surprising that high schoolers. Oh dear.
So what you're saying is that a 9 year old is tall enough to smack you across the face?
i'm sorry to laugh at your expense. but,the absurdity...I don't even know how anyone reacts to that. obviously you can't play that little "game" back at him. man.....
