Get to know me!

I often laugh with my students, like when this conversation about white music took place:

Tracee: "Coldplay is definitely white music! Watch. Hey Ty'shandra, what's Coldplay?"
Ty'shandra: "Is that some kind of dessert?"

But often I laugh at them. Most times in my head, but I've been known to laugh audibly, too. I couldn't help myself today.

I was grading the quizzes from one class while a later class took the quiz. In perhaps my craziest moment yet in a classroom, I straight up cackled in front of a quiet room. This is what I had read:

When prompted to describe how you could tell two different types of objects apart while blindfolded (to paraphrase, describe the texture of these two objects) one of my high schoolers wrote:

"You can see them like pictures in your head. Sort of like little worms."

Often, I laugh so that I don't cry.
