So today, students worked on their papers and one of mine piped up, "Teacher! Teacher! I'll give you five million dollars to do my homework."
"No thank you."
"You'd turn down five million dollars?"
"I'd turn down doing homework."
"What?"
"I have ten children. I've been helping with homework since 1999. So no. Five million is not enough."*
Whatever he thought I was going to say, it wasn't that. *In the interest of full disclosure, I did add, "There isn't a price you can put on integrity." He rolled his eyes and got back to work.
Sometimes serious, sometimes funny, always trying to be warmth and light, focuses on parenting, and the unique struggles of raising a large Catholic family in the modern age. Updates on Sunday, Tuesday and Friday...and sometimes more!
