I ended up sending her a quick little email thanking her for her message. I was going to talk to her about it today, but she was absent. In the grand scheme of things, what she said was definitely closer to humor than disrespect, and I've got kids like from today's post to worry about ...teachermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02754114407363065364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37832695.post-34316550795594143722008-03-31T23:47:00.000+05:302008-03-31T23:47:00.000+05:30I think your posts like this one illustrate on how...I think your posts like this one illustrate on how many levels you rock:<BR/><BR/>1.) you mean enough to this girl to not only have second thoughts about what she said, but about how she may have made you feel. It also says a lot about Julia, as I know of plenty of adults who can't apologize to save their lives.<BR/><BR/>2.) you make college desirable on levels often not touted--the lofty "broaden your horizons" is nice and all, but you make it tangible for your kids.<BR/><BR/>3.) you talk to them about yourself--you seem to be very real with them, and they so need adults like that.<BR/><BR/>4.) you ponder how to respond to this kid.<BR/><BR/>For what it's worth, I'd tell her what you've told us--that you thought the comment was a little rude, but that you appreciated the humor of it. <BR/><BR/>(But you probably don't want to get into what bs "my thoughts are pure" is...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37832695.post-19309492931789790292008-03-31T08:28:00.000+05:302008-03-31T08:28:00.000+05:30Probably just best to keep it simple -- since you ...Probably just best to keep it simple -- since you did forget about the comment, it wouldn't be right to make more of it than necessary. But, imagine how bad she must have felt to send that email!
