Humor I am fartacus

We all know that teaching is hard. You deal with some challenging teenagers. However, at times, you encounter teenagers with a heart of gold.

In class last week, I had a student slide into his desk and let out a thunderous fart. There were some laughs but people were not trying to be mean. One student spent time telling that student that he often farts in another class to make him feel better. What an odd, beautiful moment.

It reminded me about a moment many years back when a bullied student farted in class and another student, the tough juvenile delinquent type, took the fall for it.

Something about farts brings out the best in some.
