I am a teacher as well - actually, I teach at a university so my students might be a tad older than yours, chronologically speaking perhaps /jk/ - and last summer, I was teaching summer school and, having a bad reaction to some surgery recently undergone, ended up vomiting into a recycling bin right outside my classroom. So it wasn't *right* in front of my students, but I'm sure they could tell what was going on re: sound and the color of my face when I went back in immediately after it. Absolutely no one said anything until right at the end of class when one of the more honest little darlings said "Man. You look like shit" and left. Little darlings. :-) <br /><br />It was going to be a flip-up between passing out and vomiting, and vomiting won. If I had ended up passing out, I wonder if my students would have been like yours though: too quick to call an ambulance and make the whole situation even more theatrical! :-) <br /><br />I highly recommend you do neither of these though. ;-}Elizabeth Paulkhttps://onemorepage.blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640540060819179935.post-42125928908413981142019-11-15T05:49:05.345-08:002019-11-15T05:49:05.345-08:00I read his climate change book and I think you sho...I read his climate change book and I think you should read it... don't be scared. It's actually a really interesting and philosophical take on it all. About why and how humans respond to serious situations. Climate change is unique because it's going to be catastrophic, but it doesn't FEEL that way (death by a thousands cuts), and his book is all about how odd people are in how we respond to slow burn disasters like that, psychologically.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14172500476193061757noreply@blogger.com
