Lucky Me
I just want to take a moment out of grading papers to say that I have fantastic students. I've given them a big workload, and they're doing the work. They may grumble about it outside of class (I don't know that they do, but I probably would if it was my instructor), but they're doing the work and they're doing it well. They're thinking, they're reading, they're writing and they're willing to be open and honest with me about their approach to some really sensitive issues and it's awesome. I wish I could say it had anything do to with me, but how could it possibly when we've had class three times so far?
It's all them, baby, and they are tremendous.
(For the record, I usually get this lucky with my students. But this group is getting hit with some deep and sensitive issues right off the bat, and they are rising to the challenge with wit, intelligence and honesty. It's a beautiful thing.)
