One day this week, before 3rd period started, a student of mine came into class early. Let's call her Karolina. She seemed to be in a good mood, smiling and humming to herself. I asked her how she was:
ME: Karolina, how's it going?
KAROLINA: Great Mr. Jordan.
ME: How so?
KAROLINA: Well, I got some good news back from the doctor.
(As a teacher, anytime you hear half-revealed information like this, you always wonder if the students want to tell you more. And in case they do, you give them the chance.)
ME: You did? Is it anything concerning? And, if you want, you know you can feel free to tell me about it.
KAROLINA: Well, O.K. (pause). I just found out my chlamydia is all cleared up.
(Good to know Karolina, good to know).

I'm an old student from MHS 98ish--anyway, came upon your blog and truly love it. I particularly enjoyed this post on chlamydia-nice.
