My Pet Student
My P1 pet student who is now S2 has just asked to visit me in school. I am going to bring him out next week for lunch. Whenever I see him online, his nick changes. Not that it matters. But what it changes to! Tonight it’s some nick unprintable for this blog. I know that it is a symptom of a root issue. Angst of a growing teen perhaps. I always find myself wondering how I should handle him. What role do I play? Fact is I am no longer his teacher so I can’t scold him, not that it will work. Now he calls me JieJie which is probably what I should be to him. A big sister. I know I don’t want to be his mother and start nagging at him. He’s gonna clam up and not confide in me anymore. So I should play it cool (what these kids are saying nowadays) and not be his language patrol. Yup that’s right! I should just be a friend to him.
