　　One day last month I read a story about two teachers who gave awards to their students. The awards were 1abeled the “8th Annual Ghetto(贫民区) Classroom Awards ” They were intended to be “light-hearted” and the teachers didn’t mean anything bad. One student was recognized for his academic difficulties with the award.

　　The world learned about it because his mother posted it on social media. She wasn’t proud. She was angry confused and hurt for her son. Did I mention that the students to whom the awards were given were in a class for kids who receive special services for learning disabilities? Yes the “Ghetto Classroom” was the special education classroom.

　　When I read this story I was sure of three things：That student got the message that he was a loser; he would never forget those teachers; he would head to high school without a lot of confidence.

　　Humor can be tricky. I learned this the hard way in my first year of teaching. Someone mentioned that one of my students whom I had placed into the “athletic” category had taken ballet lessons for years and I gently teased her for it. At least I thought it was gentle. I also thought it was okay until the day when she came to me after class and told me that it hurt her feelings and she’d like me to stop.

　　I’m thankful every day that she had the courage to talk to me. Over the years I think I figured out how to throw away my sarcastic(挖苦的) wit(风趣) and learned how to have humor without being hurtful.

　　It’s really quite simple：You can make fun of yourself in a self-deprecating(自我贬低的) way but never make fun of your students.
