15 Ways to Protect Yourself and Others - Period 3, Week 2
Aly sat on her desk as she watched her students file into the room. Start of the term was always fun especially with these students. She waited until everyone had found a seat or at least a comfortable place to lean and began.
"What we need," she said. "Is a baseline that we can start with. So what I want from you today is to pair up and discuss your own experiences." She paused. "Your own or something you've seen done, a time someone tried to protect you. I don't want this to be an exercise in emo or browbeating so while I'm sure none of you would take it that way, let me just have said it."
"This can be anything. It doesn't have to be a life and death situation. You can have tried to protect your sister from dating the guy you didn't like." Aly grinned. "I'm a little sister though. Trust me when I say that never works."
"But what I'd like you to do is talk about what works in your experience. What doesn't. Is the hardest thing protecting someone from themselves?" Aly shifted on the desk slightly, her hand reaching to stroke the black beads at her throat. "Most of you know I'm bored by theory. So this is going to be our 'theoretical class.' Next week we'll get into practicalities now that this is out of the way."
"And by the way, just so you know if I'm not around or you can't find me, Zuko and Dean Winchester are your TAs. Be nice to them."
[OOC: I am SO SORRY for the lateness/lameness of the class. I kinda forgot today was Tuesday. *cough* Great omen for the semester, yes. OCD isa'coming. Up! ]
