As I sat watching the “Suicide Prevention” assembly today, I could only imagine how ineffective it was at addressing the issue. Students were pretty bored and half falling asleep during the un-engaging lesson. Although, I would imagine I wouldn’t have done a much better job doing so.
Today, I bid farewell to yet another student whose company I enjoyed (for the most part). Maybe she’ll be back in a week.
Instead, I had to spend a disastrous afternoon with this troublemaker below. Sadly, teaching is not an instantly gratifying job, otherwise I would have reached this kid already.
Maybe in 10 years I’ll see the full effect of my work.
Or.
Maybe.
Never.
