so today, our first lesson after sukkot, the kids had to hand in a
homework assignment. they started to bring it to my desk one by one...
i then had them all sit down and i told them that i had been talking
to a lot of english teachers and saying how proud i was of the way
they "passed their papers forward." and then i got all the papers
passed forward!
