...I have a second grade student that is smarter than you. During homework club she was looking for something to do and I told her she could braid yarn with another student. I promised the other student that I would buy a beautiful braided yarn-bracelet from her for a quarter and without pausing FOR EVEN A SECOND my student chimed in and said "oh, then I can buy 200 with the $50 I have." Uhhhh...let me get my calculator and make sure that's right. Jesus.
Something I adore about my young students is how they don't want to say exactly what they've done when they've messed up and they also don't want to take responsibility even though it was clearly them. Instead they tend to use the world's cutest euphemism: "Uh, Ms. So-and-so,....something happened." Ahh, yes. You accidentally wrote on the white board with a permanent marker. Something has indeed happened.
I heart my job.
