Communication

[Unkotare]

Today was the first day back after Christmas break. Since every member of my family got knocked around by some new strain of Influenza-whatever, We were a symphony of coughing and hacking for two weeks straight. Almost everyone is feeling better now, but the damage has been done. The inside of my throat is shredded. All I could manage today was a gravelly whisper. My students are usually pretty boisterous, and I usually address this in large part with a stern tone of voice. Well, that wasn't happening today. However, I was able to quiet the first class with some hand gestures and got the point across that I would be having a hard time speaking today. The reaction was astonishing. The students took to policing each other in taking turns speaking and answering questions. They maintained proper behavior throughout the lesson. I took it as a personal favor. They are really great kids. By the end of the class, I had actually said very few words, but the students completed all planned work for the day.

Maybe there's hope for our youngsters after all. Good news.

There's no hope. Don't be fooled.
