Background: This student came into my classroom after school on Friday. He was flustered because he had misplaced his phone, and thought he left it in my classroom. He became more agitated when I told him I hadn’t seen it nor had anyone turned one in. Rather than walk to his other classes, I told him to use my phone to call the other teachers to try and catch them before they left for the weekend. After several calls with negative results, he gave up, thanked me for my help and left. When I saw him again on Monday...
Me: “Oh, hey. Did you find your phone?”
Student: “Huh? Oh...yeah. Thanks for your help.”
Me: “Where was it? Was it in [teacher’s room] like you suspected?”
Student: “Oh...no.”
Me [prompting him to elaborate]
Student [sheepishly]: “It was at the bottom of my bag.” (3/2/20)
