One of my students seemed to enjoy going into his dream world where imaginary characters were having a battle in space.

During one such moment, I asked him to line up for recess…. But he appeared to not pay attention. I raised my voice and said to him ‘Check your schedule…. Its time for recess’.

He replied – ‘Can you buy a chocolate bun for me. I don’t want to come to the café.’

I wanted him to be a part of the group and insisted that he follow teacher’s instructions to line up.

He replied – ‘So you are the leader?’
I answered- ‘Yes I am! You need to follow teacher’s instructions!. ‘

He twisted his face and asked me in a cheeky voice – ‘So you are President of the United States!’
