Yesterday I brought in my pottery to show my high school students. During the day all my elementary and middle schoolers saw them sitting out. My elementary students were amazed; their amazed at just about anything! :) I took the opportunity to explain the different processes to my middle schoolers; how I made them, the time and techniques that went into each piece. At first they were a bit uninterested, but very quickly there were asking wonderful questions, and were being quite observant! I was encouraged! My last hour had come, and I was pretty excited to show my high schoolers. I was sure that if my middle schoolers were asking such great questions, surely my high schoolers and I would really get into the subject. Well... after seeing the pieces, they were pretty indifferent. As I was talking, I felt like I was talking to a wall; they didn't really care. Then, all of a sudden one of the students got pretty excited and raised his hand. In my mind I sighed, "Finally, I got someone interested!" I called on him, and you know what the booger said as he pointed to one of my beautiful pots, "That would make a great target for target practice; it would smash into a who bunch of pieces!"
