So while I was in South America my students were assigned to read Bacon’s “Essays”. Specifically, they had to read “Marriage vs. Single Life”. Now, this is required reading. I didn’t pick it, but some how my kids had the idea that I was sending them a message from Chile through their reading selection. And you better believe that when I checked my email the day after they read the essay, it was filled with messages reminding me that “overseas romances are never a good idea”, “single life fits you, don’t let a man tie you down…”, “boys are bad” and so forth. What happened to I was so old I was near death? I think I might have some students with abandonment issues… But this really made me think, what if I could send subliminal messages to my kids… What if….????
If I could really get subliminal messages through to my students they would go something like this…
1. Pee before you come to class…because, no you will not get a pass…
2. Bring a sweater, because Miss Adams doesn’t care how cold you are… wear a full shirt for that matter, then she won’t have to write you up for a dress code violation…
3. Bring Miss Adams a Twix… or a Double Shot from Starbucks…
4. Miss Adams doesn’t care why you are late; you still have to check in at the front desk…
5. Miss Adams is not your mom, so stop asking her for money… and STOP trying to hug her…
