Today's OneWord: Instructor

The instructor who took care of the fifth grade class this year was a stocky, stubbled, and bespectacled twenty-four-year-old man who had once been a high school classmate of mine. I was the assistant principal at that time - the youngest ever hired in the history of the district, in fact - and found it quite interesting how he avoided eye contact with me. When his first evaluation came up, he sat at the table across from me, staring at the floor.
