Apology

Dear KP,

I feel I owe you an apology after you said I wasn't a "real" teacher a few weeks back.  I knew you didn't say that in a mean-spirited way, but I still gave you grief about it.  Last Friday, I thought of your explanation that you only meant I wasn't the usual-sort-of-teacher when in Astronomy I was having the students log into Itslearning to take a "test" of whether they could correctly click on my face in this picture of me and MC (it had to be done, seriously, it did!).  While they were logging in, Clash of Clans came up and the Hive startled chortling in amusement as all the boys started logging into their own game on their phones to check out my set up and making comments like "Not bad - but your walls are way too weak for that level castle." or "Can I join your Clan?"

As I reflected on that moment, in the moment, I thought "So, this is probably the kind of thing KP was referring to...."

Apologies for doubting your characterization of me!

Sincerely,
Mr. Ken Rideout
