As I got unto the bus today, I saw one of my AVID students on the bus as well. I smiled at her and took my seat. She had obviously missed the regular school bus, and had to ride the city bus instead. I kept thinking about how fortunate she was, although she was going to be late she still had a ride to school. In Fayetteville, if I missed the bus, I would either have to miss school, or walk, and thats a thirty minute bus ride, fifteen mintute car ride, and a LONG walk.
I really did not know how to act towards her on the bus though, or how to act as we were walking side by side into the building. I could tell she had that awkward....I'm seeing someone who is kind of like a teacher outside of school feeling, and I definately did not want to make her feel more awkward! Needless to say, I kept my music turned down on the bus in case a stray "naughty" word came her way.
I wonder what it's going to be like to see my students outside of school. Will I be allowed to go out with my friends for dinner and enjoy a glass of wine, or something like that, without being ridiculed. I guess these are the prices you have to pay when you decide to change the world through teaching....along with crappy pay. = /
