on duty
Every other morning, I stand on duty at the top of the cafeteria stairs from 7:45-8:30am, keeping students from entering the main part of the building until the bell rings at 8:20 and then hustling them to their classes. Generally not the most exciting part of my job, but there are highlights occasionally, like this morning when I had the following conversation with one of my juniors.She was exhorting me to bribe failing students with pizza to come to tutorial so that they can be successful and I can stopped being so stressed out. In the middle of our conversation, I had to excuse myself and take off down the hall as I observed one student throwing a large trashcan at another. Upon my return:
Student: Did someone teach you to walk like that? Where did you learn to walk like that?
Me: Like what?
Student: Like you're the Queen of England or something.

too funny...thanks for sharing your stories.
I love it. Will you teach me?
i like how you write "observe one student throwing a large trashcan at another" as if it were daily fare.
(i suppose it is)
