Are they happy?

 The topic of the S3 lesson I observed this morning was 'How to be happy.' Half way into the lesson, it dawned on me that these students would be aged 14 or 15. "Are they happy?"

Later when I was leaving the classroom, I asked the whole class: "How many of you can honestly say you're happy?" To my amazement, almost 80% of them put up their hands. I had anticipated a much lower percentage. 

One of the boys asked me back: "Are YOU happy?" I replied: "Yes, definitely."
