Below is the above-referenced passage from A Christmas Carol. After his awakening by the three ghosts of Christmas, Scrooge ran into the street and had the following conversation with a passing boy (ital. mine):
Scrooge: Do you know the butcher shop in the next street?
Boy: I should hope so.
Scrooge: What a remarkable and intelligent boy! Do you know if they have sold the prize turkey that was hanging up in the window? Not the big one! The enormous one!
Boy: The one as big as me?
Scrooge: What a wonderful boy! So witty! It’s a pleasure to talk to him! Yes, that’s the one!
Boy: It’s still there!
Scrooge: It is? Go and buy it! Oh, what a lovely boy! I think I’m gonna like children!
The words in italics indicate Scrooge’s changed perception about children. Of course, if we are teachers, we certainly are not scrooges, but do our students know that? Do our families know that? As Scrooge takes a real look at this child, he sees the child’s inherent value and wit. He sees the real person.
