#anyway it’s not a scenario free from danger! because they’re literally adolescent boys

Learning how to love my teenage boy students and they’re learning how to love me within the proper teacher-student dynamic.

#boundaries are super important! because of so much. #I’m ready to turn 30 (at least in this area lol.) just so there’s more distance #there’s still a little too much closeness in age right now #but this is the first year where it’s felt like they trust me and also want to learn from me #it’s very precious to me #because they have funny simple little hearts #anyway it’s not a scenario free from danger! because they’re literally adolescent boys #and I’m a young female teacher and it’s just never free from dangers #but it’s a gift. and feels like a gift especially because I love boys so much but never had any guy friends/was never around them #for so much of my life #like I love girls and understand them #but I also love boys without fully understanding them #and it’s just a gift to get to know them better #it’s also good when I really get to knowing them kind of as a group #and a wide variety of them #helps keep things appropriate #also they DO need really strong almost harsh reminders #of what they need to be doing #more than girls #and learning that has been interesting #anyway literally just chattering to myself on this Saturday morning #*get to know them #teaching tag #also would a husband provide these boundaries more easily and give me the protection I need? yes #lol. but you know. #I do what I can in the meantime
