Passing Gas in Class
We all
have to do it. It's a part of life. I also get that, historically,
boys think this is hilarious. Maybe some girls do, too. As for me, I
think there is a time and place for it. And maybe this time is not 15
minutes into the silent reading period. I am currently teaching a
Fantasy Fiction class (sounds cool, huh?). We have been reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
since last Tuesday, so everyone is probably at a critical spot in the
book. The room is completely silent when someone just rips one. Not
quiet, not subtle, just right out there for everyone. Fortunately, no
one acknowledged it because I am thinking, "Great, how am I going to
deal with this. I don't really know these kids, so how will they handle
this?" Anyway, unsure of who the offender was, we just continued
reading. Later, we left the classroom and were walking down the stairs
to go outside when, lo and behold, the girl in front of me lets one go.
Yep, you read that right, the GIRL in front of me. Again, I get that
it's a part of life, but in the middle of a crowd? Not cool, girl. Not
cool.
