Too late

As I was sorting through some things that were slowly collecting on my bedroom floor, I came across a card one of my students gave me last Friday. I suppose I didn't originally read its store-bought message very closely, but I read it again today, and it struck me as funny.

Here's what it said:

"You did such a great job teaching that I didn't even realize I was learning...until it was too late."

Now, I realize that this message was worded by the card company, but I honestly think that, at times, some of our students were having so much fun that they didn't think they were learning anything. We laughed, moved around, and played games - and those things helped them learn.

Got 'em!
