Today was a little stressful. Some students are starting on their portraits, but others are still finishing their scratchboards. A discovery was made today of some not so thoughtful words scratched into one of the tables. I was disappointed, mad, curious as to who would write such a thing and inquisitive-- just trying to solve the mystery. As a result of my private questioning, rumors started to fly and people's feelings were hurt. I tried to be tactful in my questioning but our emotions sometimes get the best of us and some of us allowed those emotions take us to levels of unreasonable thinking. I tried not to be accusing in my questioning, but rumor has it that I was. That was not my intention at all and if any of my students who are completely innocent felt under attack, I truly am sorry to have made you feel uncomfortable. One of the most important things we can learn from this is... to never jump to conclusions before you are certain they are true. Spreading rumors about others is a form of bullying and we need to think two or three times...before we say (or engrave) ANYTHING about ANYBODY any where. I still have no idea who scratched those words into the table, but those engraved words have resulted in a lot of hurt feelings. I wonder if that was the intention...or was it just a joke? I'm not laughing if it was intended as such.
