THE LAST WORD

THE LAST WORD I had allowed seven-year-olds Kyle and Tammy to beat me at a math game. W e were laughing, and I said, "You two are getting so smart on your math facts, wel l have to get you a smarter teacher!" Kyle exclaimed, "We don't want a smart teacher! We like you." Connie Connely Catoosa, OK P.S. I also received an interesting compliment. One of my students told me, "You're really good at bossing us around!" One day while passing the nurse's office I saw one of my former elementary special education students who is now in junior high. I had heard that he was making progress so I decided to compliment him. "Chris," I said, "I understand that you know all of your colors now." His answer: "Yes, I even know them with my eyes closed. Blue, green, red, orange ... " Kay Melville Stanton, TX One student to another upon drinking a cup of not-quite-fresh apple cider: "Hey, Lee, this cider is demented!" A student walked up to me one day and asked, "Wh y can they sell everything over here, but we can't sell everything over there?" I replied noncommittally, not knowing what Jeff was talking about. Then he said, "You know, every time you turn something over, it says 'Made in King Kong'!" Lee A.
