I think I’m happier to hear the final school bell than the kids as I rest my
arms on the desk.
“Class dismissed,” I shout, but most of them are already out the door. I
remain standing, a smile plastered on my face, until the last one leaves.
“Have a good evening, Miss,” one of my pupils, Jennifer, says, and I
really hope I do. At this stage of the day, a good evening is a glass of wine,
a book, and bed. It never works out that way, but I live in hope. You always
have to have hope.
I notice Jennifer doesn’t leave. She hovers nervously in front of me.
“Everything alright, Jennifer?” I ask her.
“Yes, miss,” she replies, but I know it’s not.
“You sure? It’s okay, you can talk to me,” I assure her.
She hesitates for a second. “Jake Clarkson said I was ugly and that I’d
never get a boyfriend, and that even Darren Shufflebottom wouldn’t be seen
dead with me.”
“Hey, don’t you worry about what Jake Clarkson says. You’re as pretty
as pretty can be, my girl. You see, the thing is, in life, you gotta know your
worth. And that’s a measure you set yourself. Once you set it, it’s up to the
rest of the world to recognize it,” I tell her.
“Really, it’s that easy? I just say I am pretty and worth more, and I am?”
she asks.
“Yep, it works like magic. Try it, you’ll see. And besides, I heard Jake
Clarkson soiled his pants in football practice the other day when the coach
shouted at him in the office. They had to call his parents and ship him out
the side door.” I wink at the little girl conspiratorially.
“Really?” Jennifer says, her eyes alive with a juicy piece of schoolyard
gossip.
“Yes, but don’t you be spreading that around, you hear me?” I let a
smirk twitch at my lips as Jennifer gazes at me, incredulous.
“Oh, no, I won’t be doing that,” the girl assures me with a frantic shake
of her head. “Thank you.”
“Anytime. Now, you have a good evening,” I tell her.
“Oh, I will!” Jennifer rushes out the door, a spring in her step now that
she has some ammo against the class bully.
As she leaves, I slump back into my chair, throw my head back, and
close my eyes. I could sleep right here. Don’t mind me, janitor, just wake
me in the morning before the first bell.
But I know I can’t because I have things to do and a whole lot of
problems to solve before the school day begins tomorrow. Some of my
pupils aren’t the easiest to deal with, but I believe every child deserves a
good education, no matter how problematic.
The job of a teacher is to ensure that happens. I know some of my
colleagues just switch off when the bell rings. In fact, some are never
