Unanticipated Cruelty

Several years ago one of my students was injured and needed crutches...but the real injury came from her classmates, thanks to me...

May. I have a volunteer to carry Jane's books?

Silence...

Not one student offered, so I carried them.

I knew that Jane wasn't one of the popular students, but didn't anticipate this cruelty.

In any case I'll never put a student in this situation again.

By the way, the next time Jane was absent, I let the class know my mistake.
