Who?

Not "who" it's what, as in dialog that you could have used with the student. I suspect he speaks Spanish(?) and asking his name starts a conversation.

You said, perhaps he worked the overnight shift. I mean first, I don't see how that is legal, at least not in my state, unless he is over 18. But you are pissing in the wind until you know. Maybe he is homeless, maybe he has immense responsibilities at home. Hell, maybe he is bottle feeding an infant twice a night. You need to know, you can't make an impact until you do.

What an amazing thread .
Quite surreal
Almost poetic in some strange way .

Maybe not "good" poetry but definitely suggestive and/or symbolic of several things going on ---- imho

We talked quite a lot, just not in English.

"curses"?

When I attended school, the curses, of which there were many ... were in English (and occasionally Spanish).

I even heard some curses in Yiddish.

Those are not exactly the phenotypes of a kid I would expect to understand Yiddish.


Just saying.
