Dear Mr. Reeves
I get it now. You played hackysack with the students.
Hackysack is a truly egalitarian "sport". In it, we cheer eachother on. We all contribute to seeing that the sack doesn’t hit the ground. We even tolerate grandstanding—nay, we applaud it—recognizing the greatness in seeing our peers excel.
I only regret that my social programming limited my connection to you.
I had him for 8th grade science, I think. But, yes. Bolo-tie Reeves.
He would stay after class and engage in fascinating, mind-bending discussions. I dunno–I think it just have been cool if I had more exposure to great minds like that early on. I always felt somewhat removed from intelligentsia, in part because of my age and gender.
Mr. Reeves? Like 9th grade geometry Mr. Reeves?
