Robert it seems that you share much of that “happiness” vibe that Ben shares with us on this PLC with his latest videos. Yes to relationship building.
I have always refused any offerings of food from students but why not give in and honor that connection they are trying to make?
I know we need to be careful about eating things from students; there have been news stories about students who tried to poison their teachers. However, if we are paranoid, we can’t build relationships, so there has to be some willingness to take a risk. (In this case it was not much of one: the kid was eating the donut holes out of the bag, then he offered me my choice of a donut hole and went back to eating the others out of the bag.)
Another time, students were passing around “all-flavored jellybeans” (inspired by Harry Potter) and offered some to me. With these, you have a fifty-fifty chance of getting something nasty. I went ahead and took one, which wasn’t bad, then did my best Dumbledore impression with: “Hmm. Interessant. Ohrwachs.”
I love hearing about your classes, Robert. The story of the boy who’s coming out of his shell is really wonderful. I like hearing about the things you do instructionally as well as how the kids respond. Taking the donut hole is of course the right thing to do — that boy has begun to trust you and it was a big deal that he offered that.
