Anonymity

A few weeks ago one of my students walked in to my class and said, "Oh, I've been reading your blog! It's funny!"

Many of the teacher bloggers I read would immediately gasp with horror, but I thought about it for a minute and realized it was OK. I don't write for my students, but I also am careful not to write anything that would embarrass them. (Unlike someone I know who posted the complete text of a love note a kid passed in class, but don't worry, I won't name you!)

This student is the daughter of friends of mine, so that's how she came to see my blog. I don't think any of my other students are reading. But if they are, hi there!
