I just love the way you communicate....... so efficient and precise.

I love the way you are so darn sweet.

That must be the first-day-teacher in me coming out lol.... the rest of me is meaaaaaaann (ask my grade 10 kids lol)

naah they've got me whooped n they know it Lucky for them I believe high school is about safety, personal growth, and interpersonal skill development rather than academia........ I believe kids need to know how to function in society in a positive manner rather than be able to quote from Shakespeare (even though that is fun!)...... but that's another whole topic....
