Let me tell you about a recent student of mine. We’ll call him Jack. He’s a quiet boy, our Jack, self-possessed, responsible enough generally, amply courteous, eminently likable. In my normative-level senior literature class, he was attentive and receptive but disinclined to push himself. He found a comfortable pace and stuck with it. The snarky might be tempted to condemn him as undistinguished, B−/C+, just another kid—any of these tantamount, in the current climate, to pretty heavy condemnation. More and more of late, I find myself compelled to defend kids like Jack, even to other teachers, some of whom seem to hold in a museum-lit shrine an image of the Ideal Student to which they expect all those of the flesh-and-blood variety to aspire. Anything short of that is a disappointment, a personal affront, a sign, even, of a deficient character. Superlative achievement and a whole salad bar of laurels should be everyone’s goal, they, too, seem to believe, and learning is what happens along the way. Students like Jack can become invisible. In fact, many seem to prefer it that way.
