I remembered the time I asked my middle school English teacher what the word “igneous” means and she didn’t know. Instead of telling me to look in the dictionary, she said, “Let’s learn the word together.” And got her personal dictionary from her desk and we looked up the word together. She even highlighted it in her dictionary “so she’d remember it”. This was during a study hall, so she had things of her own to be working on, but she took a few minutes to indulge my question. It was a really nice moment of actual teaching in a school district that was awful in regards to educating students.

I feel like sharing little moments like that with other people is important. Idk why. Maybe it’s to spread a little happiness or something, but I love sharing little tidbits I remember with people.
