Kind words. Over the years, I used to say that as a Latin teacher, I got the nicest kids (Latin being, of course, an elective)--but my unspoken "truth" was that those nicest kids also frequently were the smartest. And my female students--unlike those in the other language classes--dressed modestly. Odd, that. As if they knew they would be 'marketing' something other than their physical attributes. It was a great gig, until the wokester admins poisoned it.
