Today I ratted out some kids who were skipping their Russian class.
I felt kind of bad about this, but not overly so. After all, I AM a teacher, an authoritarian representative of the state, as Lee would say.
Anyway, when I was doing the ratting (which was easy since the Russian class convenes in my room while I’m madly assembling my American Lit lesson) I noticed a kid pulling out his phone to text-message the offenders.
I frowned at him, and he smiled impishly. “I’m telling them to run,” he said.
“Hmmm,” I replied. And it seemed like a sign of the times.
