I told you guys about my stupidest most non-literary student who fell in love with pride and prejudice right? one of my favorite things that has ever happened.
#this student was a bump on a log#hated reading. or like didn’t even know that a human person could like it#and then the last 20 chapters of pride and prejudice he just started reading and answering questions#(he had not been able to answer a single comprehension question in my class all year)#(had a D+/C- grade all year)#and just started lighting up about the book#and it was just. so cute and so funny and so GOOD#it made me so happy#he was somehow the perfect parallel/foil to my student last year who fell in love with it#who was very quiet and very smart and very magnetic in the way of Darcy tbh#and he was like what happens when a smart kid gets it and the one this year is what happens when an average/below average student gets it#but it reached both of them#it’s why I DO love teaching teenagers#because they’re just too young to be hardened fully. they can’t block everything out#some things will slip through the cracks#I LOVE things slipping through the cracks 😭😭#Now I am realizing that I have told this story so many times in so many ways thanks for listening to it again#teaching tag#Lol
