A Teacher Holds Her Tongue

Something I say a lot during the course of a school day is: "I am holding my tongue."  A teacher must always watch what she says.  Students may have selective understanding and truly keep themselves from getting a lesson, but something they all seem to catch and catch quickly is when a teacher makes an even slightly off-color remark. Middle schoolers are especially talented that way.  Therefore, I hold my tongue even in trying moments and tell the students as a I do so.  

Love,
