Why I love my students…
Student 1: “Now, Ms. Rodgers, this is just a general question, but if she hits me, do I have the right to call the po-lice and then hit her back?”
Student 2: “Ms. Rodgers, don’t expect no violence from me, but if he annoys me, I’mma reach out and smack him with the hand of Jesus.”
