During my first year of teaching 8th grade, I had a particularly vivid group of young artists who loved using permanent marker to draw pictures of male body parts all over their desks - every day. I would have to stay late to scrub it off - every day. Finally, I wanted to address the issue directly, but also with some humor. I asked them, "Why do you constantly insist on drawing rocket ships all over the desks?".
One student looks up at me and replies, "That's because we all want to be astronauts."
