What do they think you ARE?

It's the last day of school--Finals Makeup Day. I have four kids in my classroom. Not fifteen minutes prior, I had just received an email from administration stressing the importance of keeping students supervised and in classrooms (i.e., by not letting them go to other classrooms, as they frequently end up wandering the halls).

The head secretary buzzes on my intercom.


HS: "Mr. Vonn would you be available to come to a meeting in the front office now? Ms. Hendrick [the school psychologist] needs a gen ed teacher."

Me, confused: "...No, I have students."

HS: "OK, thank you."

Billy Hopkins, one of the students working on a makeup test, shakes his head and says: "What do they think you ARE?"

Me: "Thank you, Billy."
