I’ve been substitute/ guest teaching (twice in two weeks). My fishbowl. My playground.

I.Learned this, after answering a question of, “what do you want?”

• I learned, “to get out of class early,” “to get my phone back,” “to go get food,” are indeed legitimate answers to a vague and rarely asked question to high school students.

However, as legitimate and honest as that may be, they are not the answers I am looking for when prospecting future I.School students.

More intriguing answers might include, “more time,” “a class I can learn stuff I need, now,” or “anything better than this.” And other not so obvious responses, would crook my neck in a different direction, indeed.

Potential students of I.School don’t necessarily need to be ‘rock bottom’ in order to qualify; more like a “what was that you just said?” and “more insights please,” would suffice.

Just getting my cup filled after four years without student interaction. I genuinely want to listen to student voices of 2024. I listen, and genuinely want to reflect.
