Show & Tell in a High School Class: I-pod

I have one male student. For his show& Tell he brought an I-pod. At first I wanted to correct him, as I-pods are not generally allowed on school property. Then he said... wait Mrs Hucko, this is a real show & tell.

He then proceeded to tell how his Father gave him the I-pod as a special gift two days before he was deported! He said his father has been gone now for 3 months. No family n Mexico has heard from him nor has anyone in the US. This was unusual for his dad because he was always in touch and part of the family. He is very worried about his father being detained or shot at the boarder.

One of the students was not really understanding and asked "Why was he deported?" My student looked at her and quickly replied, "because he was illegal" then she asked him, "Are you legal?" "No" he replied. Then he added, I am jut hoping to hear from my dad soon. The class clapped and he sat down. Wow.
