I'm on a Temple kick today after a day of volunteering at an admitted students event so I'll just update with this little gem of a story concerning one of my 8 pupils and my Alma Mater.
At an IEP meeting the other day the child study team, my supervisors, the parents of the student, and I were discussing the pupil's future aspirations. One of the child study team members relayed this short conversation she had with my student that made me feel both proud and honored at the same time. It went something like this:
CST Member: Do you want to go to college?
Student: [Nonchalantly] Yes. I'm going to Temple.
CST Member: Oh! Why Temple?
Student: [Looking at the CST member as if she was crazy for even asking the question; as if to say "Duh!"] It's where my teacher went.
Hey, whatever works!
