The System

  • Student N: Ms. F, if you were angry with us, would you tell us?
  • Me: If I were angry with you, you would know.
  • Student N: Oh...'cause it seems like you are angry with us for asking questions all the time.
  • Me: [surprised] What? No, I love your questions. I'll never get angry about you asking questions. If I seem frustrated when your class asks lots of questions, it's because there is a schedule we have to get through and we don't have time to just discuss your questions.
  • Student N: So you are angry but you're just angry at the system?
  • Me: Yep. Frustrated with the system that's stymieing your curiosity.
  • Student Z: That's a great word, Ms. F!
