I finally just asked the moms if I could take a video of our kid sessions. For our class we need to show six videos. Two regular ones are in front of the whole class. Two are privately with just you and the teacher. One is a bigger presentation in front of the class. And the other is the faculty panel demonstrating basic skills. Once you pass the panel you don’t have to do that one again.

Thankfully they said yes. These are just for the ones between me and the teacher so nobody else is going to see them. The kids were excited and seemed to enjoy being filmed. There’s really no way to pretend you’re not being watched when there are video cameras in almost every room. You just act like you normally would and eventually just forget about the cameras even being there.

Something about this place makes me terrified of being betrayed. You can think that you’re forming good relationships with people and that they’re comfortable and basically decent and wouldn’t do anything to hurt you. Just because Jesus loved people didn’t mean they didn’t do things to eventually hurt and kill him. With Judas it seems like, you hope it was easier since he knew what would happen.

And it works both ways. Something mentioned all the time in classes is informed consent. It’s when you’re operating under the agreement that whatever is said between the two of you stays between the two of you unless it becomes a matter of physical safety for them or another person. I’ve forgotten to mention that a couple of times but am trying to remember to say that to them now.
