one of the best things about teaching middle school is that they’re young enough to see me as an authority figure despite the fact that i’m pretty young for a teacher but they’re old enough to understand and laugh at the concept of phases, and what i’m really getting at here is that i lost control of my classroom for a couple of minutes today because i told them that i had an emo phase when i was their age
judging by the amount of shrieking in the room you’d think i was torturing them but really it was because i told them my favorite band at the time was evanescence
