This directly relates to the previous post, and merits
its own recognition. Valentine's Day is full of funny surprises!
While we were “working” on making collages in a more productive class than 2nd period, my French
IV/V students were having a philosophical discussion about Valentine’s
Day. They talked about all of the big
questions. How much money is too much?
Shouldn’t we spread this out over the whole year? What about all of the other days? Why in the world are there gigantic teddy
bears walking around the school?
The next comment is one I think I will remember
forever. Felix said passionately:
“Where is all the cuddling going?
I have the supply. Where is the
demand?
The human race will cease to be with all these teddy bears getting it all!”
The entire class burst into laughter and added to his
original comment in ways I don’t remember because I was laughing too hard. It wasn’t just what he said, it was the
honestly and emotion with which he said it!
Merci Félix pour ton enthousiasme et tes connections

My dear,
You are a bright star in a night without
clouds. you standout in the sky, and
like a star give light to the world
you give joy no matter where you go.
This is why I teach !
