The Ultimate Compliment

I often eavesdrop on student conversations in class. This morning the kids in my 3rd period were making not-so-complimentary comments about the personal hygeine of another teacher. I asked, "What do you guys say about me when I'M not around." One boy said, "You are one of our coolest teachers, Mr. Falk. We'd rather have you than a sub." The ultimate compliment. I think.

    Wow. Your right, there is no complement better than this. Especially for a teacher. I guess it just means your did an awesome job. Getting a student to really appreciate the time a teacher puts into their job is a talent, and it looks like you got it, dude.
