votania brought Little Fayoumis to school and dropped him off with me before leaving for work. He was quiet and good in the computer lab, and quiet and good in McGuirk's class with me. He had
One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish to read, but wound up drawing with my ten-color pen instead. He got very excited when I raised my hand in class and got to contribute, and noted down the "points" that I'd gotten.
Competitive education. Wow.
He did eventually get bored, and squiggle, and he did begin to use the pen as a gun, but all in all, a success.
