learning from my students

I've made my a blog that my students can visit.
It's this. I registered as a different user so they won't get to access this blog hopefully.

Anyways, here's an example of what I learn from my boys.

Me: Zavier, John said you "hate" me. Why?
Zavier: I don't know.
Me: Honestly, c'mon. Think about it. There must be a reason.
Zavier: I don't know. (pause) Eh, it's because you don't always do what you say...like the groupings for the oral piece....

This struck me. Hay, I really have to build my credibility with my boys. I have to do everything I say - it's about keeping my word. Ohwells. What's done is done. What's left is for me to do something now.
