classroom notes #16: reading as a hobby

There is nothing more gratifying as a teacher than to have a student beg for more books to read. More, more, more!

Unless the book the student wants most is still in hardcover.

But there is nothing I love more than a student who loves to read.

So I buckled and doled out the money for the hardcover.

And now we are arguing who gets to read it first, the student or the teacher.
