About

I teach orchestra at a middle school.

I recently went to a training session about interacting with students.  I asked the presenter what I should do when a student asks me a personal question in class.  He said I should say ‘We’re going to table that for now.’  I wasn’t familiar with that expression, so I looked it up.  To “table” something has two meanings:

  1. to set aside for the time being
  2. to put forward for discussion
Two opposite meanings.  So I guess this webpage is that table.
