A fellow teacher told me about a recent experience with one of his first-graders. As they were coming into the classroom in the morning, he gently asked one of the boys to go and be the doorholder for the rest of the crew. My friend realized, at a distance, that as the line approached the door, there was a sudden traffic jam and they were unable to get inside. All of the children began stepping over something in the doorway. Being a concerned teacher, he rushed over to see if the students were simply trampling over their fellow doorholder, but he was amused to see the young boy sitting in the middle of the doorway, eyes closed, legs crossed, hands-up with his thumb and index finger touching, a very yoga-like position. My friend asked his young student what he was doing in the doorway. The student replied very quietly and simply, "Shh . . I'm medicating!"
