My first year teaching I was assigned a class of 70 seventh and eighth graders. Some days I had total bedlam, but not for 30 minutes on Monday afternoons.
On Mondays the girls, 40 of them, went to choir; this left me with 30 boys. I learned early on that they loved a good story and loved to be read to. So for that 30 minutes I read to them. It was the most peaceful 30 minutes in my day.
Sharing thought provoking reading and conversation, mealtimes are peaceful times in the monastery too.
